I'm taking a trip to Sam's Club soon. My surgery is on November 20. My pre and post op diet does NOT include Protein shakes. My surgeon (at a Center for Excellence) prefers you get food into you as soon as possible, with a low carb high protein diet beforehand and a pureed diet for two weeks post-op.

That being said, can you guys post some suggestions for what I should put on my Sam's Club shopping list?

Any veggies that can be soft cooked, eggs, tunafish, fish, etc. You're fortunate. I have to do clear liquids for two weeks with protein shakes.

I buy mini Bon cheese, premier protein ready made shakes, it has 30 grams of protein, almonds, tuna, turkey, ground chicken, etc. Good luck to you.

I was not allowed to start purees until week 5 post-op. You'll find that every program is very different. Just follow your surgeon's plan.

My favorite is refried Beans with melted cheddar cheese. I did puree it for the two weeks I was on purees. Another new favorite is Kroger greek cream cheese & greek yogurt spread. Carbmaster yogurt is good & has more Protein & less carbs than regular or "lite" yogurts. I did try plain greek yogurt & added sugar-free Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms syrups but it was too watery. I checked the flavored ones but they have too many carbs.

Does anyone buy their Vitamins there as well?

I just saw that they have canned roast beef....I wonder how that tastes pureed?

I buy mini Bon cheese, premier Protein ready made shakes, it has 30 grams of protein, almonds, tuna, turkey, ground chicken, etc. Good luck to you.

Thanks!
