Hi all I'm still preop but with 2 appointments left before I schedule my surgery I have to ask what will I need that first month? I'm trying to gather a list so I can give it to my hubby and we can go shopping he just needs the list so please all my post op peeps what will be nessicary and what can be not bought

You'll get a list from your doctors office. I would recommend that you try to refrain from buying too much in advance. I know you want to obsess and nest and plan. You don't know how your new stomach will behave. Things that you find tasty now...you might not be able to tolerate post-surgery. For the first two weeks, I'd recommend having some chicken broth, sugar free popsicles, bottled water and some protein drinks. After that, you'll start introducing soft foods...and you'll need to experiment to see what your new stomach will tolerate.

Thanks so much

I would recommend a pill splitter and a pill crusher.
