I am having surgery on 9/25. I'm just ready to go and get it over with. What do you guys have ready at home for post op?

What are your phases of what to eat after surgery?

Have to go to Walgreens tomorrow anyway, OK, will add biotin tomorrow

Week 1- clear liquids:protein shake, sf jello & popsicles, broth, diet b-8 splash

Week 2 & 3 - full liquids: cream soups(no lumps or bumps), drinkable yogurt, plus stuff from week 1

Week 4- add in mashed potates, cream of wheat, grits, oatmeal

This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.

Weeks 1&2 liquids

Weeks 2-5 softs

Weeks 4-6 solids

I see an overlap in the last 2 phases.

What are you packing for the hospital?

I haven't packed yet. I have been trying to get my kids things together and so forth. Probably Monday when kids are off to school I will pack my bag and make sure I have everything. Are you packed?

Nope haven't packed a thing lol

Pack a extension cord for your phone charger also if you have long hair braid it use a rubberband with no metal or you wake up with your hair in a mat in the back of your head.

Oh didn't think about extension cord thanks!! And have short hair so no worries about that

I learned the hard way my phone had to be far away to charge.

I'm scheduled for the 25th too!! I have my broth, protein mixes, vitamins, and my soups for the next phase. Still haven't packed anything. I think I am still having a hard time believing it's so close now.

Hello Klperry, I know what you mean about the date being close. Just a while ago it was July for me that's when I received my surgery date. I think everything became real last week when I went in for pre op testing.

Hello, biotene mouth spray(sp) its for dry mouth and some other things with the mouth. It's in the area where the mouthwash is. I think you can find a pill crusher at cvs walgreens Walmart. I will look for the liquid tylonel Monday.
