I'm brand new to this site and I am looking for suggestions as to what all to purchase ahead of time to prepare for my post-op diet. I'm a planner and I'm getting a little antsy about having the things that I will need in my pantry and fridge for my post-op diet. And any meds that I may need to get ahead of time too. I am allergic to dairy products and eggs, so any suggestions around those items would be greatly appreciated!

I assume this is up to solids, here's a partial list :)

Supplements: Multi Vitamins, Calcium, Biotin are some of the common ones. Initially you may be more comfortable with any liquid versions you can find (but it tastes horrible) and than transition to chewies.

Drinks: crystal lite (or similar product), gatorade and Protein shakes and nondairy milks (ie rice/soy)

Foods:

broths than thicker Soups like Tomato, applesauce, v8 juice, pudding, icepops, Jello, mash potato, canned (or soft or well cooked) fruit/vegs, Beans, chili, watery cream of wheat, nondairy yogurts (never tried them but its worth a try)

Some of these can be eaten straight and some will need to be blenderized to make them mushies.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
