What Should I Stock Up On?



Recommended Posts

I am so confused! Well not neccessarily confused, just a lot of information and when it comes to these things I just go crazy! I was given a list of things that I can eat what I can start eating once I am at my liquid intake goals and such. I don't even know what to go out and buy! What would be a simple list to start off with?? My surgery is November 6th and I don't know what to stalk up on.. little help please?

dwbrown1978, what brands did you use of the Soups and jello's? I have never seen high Protein jello's. Any help you can give me to prepare would be awesome. Thanks in advance :}

What about Vitamins? I've been driving myself crazy on what vitamins to buy, what I should be taking before surgery, also buying different Protein Shakes to try. :wacko: I'm scheduled to change my life on Dec 17! :-)

I use Centrum chewable a recommended by my nut and others. I also take Viactiv Calcium chewable. 2 each a day. I bought mine @ Walgreens.

I went a little bit crazy with the planning pre-surgery only to find that after surgery, what I thought I would want and what I could handle were two different things. Unflavored Protein powder is a must, but I found that everything else I planned for (soups, broth, shakes, etc.) went right out the window. I'm two weeks out and am one of the unlucky ones who can't tolerate much of anything. I get most of my Protein through unflavored powder mixed with hot chocolate and not much else.

I'm using the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins, but I find them a little chalky =\ The black cherry B12 is great though and the lemon calcium chews are really good.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
