Initial appointment with surgeon.

[kathypitcher 2]

I have my initial appointment on Tuesday and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as far as questions I should ask? Also I'd like to begin preparing by making any small purchases that I can to help me after surgery does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Stock up on sugar free Popsicles, lots of Water, and Soup. mostly just broth, no eating any soup with noodles and veggies or any creamy Soups those have a lot of fat. stock up on Protein Shakes because you'll need to have 2 or 3 shakes a day for the first 2 or 3 weeks then your dr will give you the ok to eat mushie foods. Its going to be hard at first not being able to eat anything but as long as you stick to the diet you'll be fine, remember water, water, water!!! I even got some gatorades but always did half water half gatorade. Jello is really good too make sure its sugar free tho and sugar free pudding, the first few weeks are for healing thats why you cant really jump into eating normal foods. Good luck!!
