Getting banded on Monday June 25th!! Excited and scared (read my last post haha) just wondering what kind of things should I have handy after surgery,I don't want to be a burden on my boyfriend and have him running around for me..I already have a pill splitter, thermometer, applesauce....and well that's about it....Help!!!

• clear juice
  
• tea (if you like it)
  
• broth
  
• yogurt, preferably Greek because it's higher protein
  
• skim milk
  
• protein drinks, but make sure it's not loaded with sugar and calories
  
• cream soups with no chunks
  
• sugar free jello
  
• oatmeal (but prepared really watery)
  

• heating pad, it helps the discomfort for some
  
• gas X strips
  

If you have prescriptions that need to be filled for post op pain medication, or if your maintenance medications needed to be changed ( I had to have several changed to liquid form, 1 chewable), do that ahead of time.

Also, I relied mostly on liquid Tylenol for post op pain management...so it would be helpful to have that as well.

Some doctors want you to have a Fiber supplement along with your liquid diet, if so, purchase them ahead of time.

Best wishes...

Thank you guys...you are truly awesome and helpful!!

Don't forget sugar free popsicles!!!

Those Sf popsicles have been lifesavers!!
