Can someone help me with some ideas of what to buy for this?

Its hard to really tell ya what to get because each doctor/surgeon has different requirements. My surgeon gave me one list, and the nutritionist that sees all of the patients for this surgeon, had a slightly different list. A few things are almost universal though.

sugar-free popsicles

crystal light

decaf coffee/tea

no-sugar added carnation instant Breakfast

skim milk

hope this helps

I agree your doctor will give you suggestions, what was on my list was low sodium clear chicken broth, popsicles, gautorade q2, basically anything clear and not heavy..then after two weeks I went on full liquids which included protein shakes, and more soups no chunks...then two weeks later, full food...good luck on your journey!

I was liquids 2 wk prior to surgery and now almost at the end of 4 weeks post op, so ready for the mushies! Protein shakes so you get enough protein, that's so important so you don't get hungry. I got chicken broth from Unjury.com mixes great and I think it tastes yummy, 1 scoop in 8 oz hot water is 21gr of protein. Atkins ready to drink is pretty good and each one is 15 gr of protein. My doctor said in that stage be sure to get 80-100 gr of protein. good luck!

I was on full liquids 2 wks. before surgery then 3 days clear liquiod. after surgery then and back to full .cream of shrimp soup was my favorite.also brocolli cheese soup,chicken noodle soup (without the chicken or noodle just the soup)Atkins protein shakes,myoplex shakes,sugar free pudding and jello,sugar free popsicles , and my mom was very supportive she bought a lot of veggies and fruit and blended me some stuff

Thanks all that was helpful
