Have been reading alot on the first week post op and have found alot of great suggestions for things like baby tylenol, mylanta chewable gas meds, and such. I am still preop scheduled for sept 6th. I am wondering if I can get suggestions here on the stuff that has helped you out post op. My mother and bestfriend are going to be taking care of me for the first 2 days or so so i would like to get a list of stuff together for them so they know what will help me through this process. any and all suggestions are welcome even if they are standard from your dr or just common sense. Thanks so much. Oh also i would like to know how to get a ticker to work. I have created one but cant seem to figure it out

• Liquid Emetrol for nausea
• S/F lemonade or lemon hard candy. You will have a terrible taste in your mouth from the liquid diet. All the tooth brushing and mouth wash in the world won't help. Anything lemon flavored will cut through it.
• Chicken or beef broth
• jello
• popsicles
• protein powder
• milk
• lump free yogurt

For your ticker:

• Copy the bbcode
• go to edit my profile/change signature
• paste the code into the box

I second what Cindy said!
