What to have ready...

Can anyone who is post-opt gives me some examples of what you ate (drank) after surgery at home? My surgery is Wed. in a city about 3 hours from home and I wanted to have everything I need here so my husband doesn't have to do a bunch of running. From the day you got out and into the non clear liquid phase. I appreciate your feedback.

Oh and if you are going to be in the car, I would make sure the hospital is going to give you a binder...it really does help with any bumps!!! (it helped me a lot and I still wear it in the car, but I am only 4 days post op!!)

Premeir protein. Find it at costco or on Amazon.

I made my own broth. Sugar free jello and pudding. Sugar free popcicles, I also got sugar free fudge bars. Some sugar free drink packets or crystal lite.

Bring a pillow for your ride. I did for my 50 minute ride but didnt really need it. The hospital gave me small barf bags and a anti nausea shot for the ride home.

I can barely choke down a Protein shake, so I manage one a day and got the rest of my protein in with milk. The sf ice pops are good and I asked my nurse for a supply of the broth packets to bring home.

Def have meds on hand, even if not needed. Better tone safe, than sorry!

Best of luck!
