20 days till surgery. What do I need to buy for when I come home?



Recommended Posts

A variety of Protein shakes (don't get a lot - tastes change after surgery), crystal light, broth (or make your own), Powerade zero, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, Protein Water (Atkins Lift), a Blender Bottle, a food scale, gas x, a comfy front closure bra, tea (I bought a bunch of flavors), bottled Water (in case I don't like the tap water after surgery), and I bought a bottle that keeps liquids cold or hot for hours (since it will take a while to drink anything).

I didn't go overboard - I hope that I'll be able to go to the store by the end of the week when I start pureed.

Not much, really. If you stock up, you might end up spending money on stuff you no longer care for.

SF popsicles, a couple of gatorades or powerades -- whichever you prefer. A small pack of Protein drinks. SF pudding.

I had surgery on a Wednesday, was home on Thursday, and driving on Friday. I could get whatever I needed at the store once I was driving and before then I was drinking Clear Liquids only, so...

I was in the grocery store two days after the sleeve. I cannot tell you how much I threw out, when I overbought at Sams Club, and did not use. Bouillon and FF Soups were our go to favorites. My scale is in the drawer never used. Protein Bars were not a favorite, and some went in the trash. I made the mistake of putting Premier Protein shakes in the hot garage, and they spoiled. Lived and learned. I thought I was stocking a storm shelter!

What a fat person thinks are adequate supplies FAR exceeds what a newly sleeved person actually needs.

You should have seen what I used to buy when they were calling for a day or two of snow vs what I buy now. It's insanity.

So that's why I have so much food in my copboards!?! 4 months of snow and darkness heading this way.....

I went and got some Jello boxes, Protein drinks and tiny containers today. Itty bitty ready made jellos will wait for me when I get back from surgery. I already had a digital scale and Protein shakes.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
