I'm starting to think about what to buy for the post-op liquid diet. I'm trying to plan for at least the first week when I might not want to goto the store. Curious what others are buying ahead of time.

My plans are:

chicken broth

Protein powder

sf Jello

sf popsicles

crystal light

yogurt

preimer Protein shakes

Anything else? Any blender recipes to try?

I really liked having different flavors of boullion so I could have broths- I am sooooo sick of sweet stuff.

Soups I can strain. Tasted like food instead of broth.

Did you make your own, buy canned, or???

My doctor only allows 1 Protein shake and 30-40 oz of Water a day for the first 2 weeks. I am on day 2 post op and I am miserable at the moment

Hi.. my surgery is monday dec 5?and I ordered a good bit from bariatric pal ... soups with protein, protein packs for mixing , hot chovolate with protein , container of protein powder by Syntrax( hope I spelled it right) and vitamin patches I ordered as well.

I wouldn't stock up too much. Your taste buds might change. I now hate pineapple and broth. I can barely tolerate SF applesauce and yogurt.

oh wow! that sounds tough. Mine is Clear liquids the first 2 days then full liquids for about a week after. Then stage 3 of soft foods (eggs, fish, etc). Regular foods come back at 6 weeks.

I get soft eggs and cheese for week 3 then Beans and fish week 4 then chicken and turkey week 5 then finally pork and lean beef week 6 and beyond but only 2 oz 3 times a day for the first 3 months then 4 oz for months 3-6 then 6 oz for months 6-9 and finally 8 oz for 9 months +

Dont stock up too much especially on dated foods, ie yogurt. I stocked up and threw much of it away. Also once I started back on foods, I didnt want to drink broth mix I bought through bariatric site. I wasted alot of money. Plus you won't be as hungry as you once were and can't eat much at all. Good luck and God bless!

I like the Injury protine powder I used a lot more the first two weeks then I expected and had to rorder. Be aware they take longer that expected to ship. Ten days with my first order and 12 with the second. It's the brand my surgeon recommended and my NUT says this is typical. Just something good to know.

Also it helped me to get in the habit of always having a shake and a drink with you when you leave the house.

My dr does full liquids from the moment you are home, so I have creamed soups to strain, sf pudding and pinkos triple zero yogurt stocked up for at least the first week. My surgery is tomorrow. Dec 5

5 days post surgery recommend 2 shakes a day 20oz plus 2 18oz Propels 20oz Water 4oz of broth. BUT MOST OF ALL GET OUT AND WALK WALK WALK
