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!

Popsicles was my saving grace...! A must have. Sugar Free of course.

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.
