Your Nut should have given you a "grocery list"...definitely need Vitamins, Protein Drinks, clear liquids...that's about all I could handle...and I was doing good to get all of my fluids in at first.

Toilet wipes. Almost everyone has diarrhea the first few days. Might want to consider powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Protein. It's the only one I could tolerate the first week after surgery. It has to be ordered online.

Thanks! I will order some. I wasn't sure because it seems very mixed as to whether I will be able to eat anything or not. I don't see my nut until the day before surgery because our schedules conflict.

What do I need on hand for the first week? Vitamins? supplements? Did anyone really eat (post op diet eat) the first week?

A big bottle of chewable tums, adult liquid Tylenol and lots of chicken broth.< /p>

Ditto on the chicken broth. My biggest must have was my heating pad. Worked wonders for me!

Liquid Tylenol, chewable Gas-x (works great for getting gas bubbles to come out. chicken broth, crystal light, Protein Shakes. My NUT allowed yogurt the first week, so plain low sugar yogurt, sugar free popcicles, sugar free fudgecicles, sugar free Jello and pudding. sugar free hard candies (they are nice to suck on when you want to taste something).

Hard candy!!! That sounds like a great idea for any after taste I may incur. I would love to be able to have yogurt as well. Thanks!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
