List of Food Items for Post Op

[jcb123 115]

Is there a list of items that I should have at home after surgery? I know Protein Powder but other than that I'm really kind of clueless. My surgery is scheduled for Oct 24th.

Thanks!!!!

My surgery was 10/3... I would say have a heating pad. The gas pain is crazy!!!!

Since you wont be able to lift over 20 lbs I would suggest to prep for next 2 months:
- water
- popsycles
- apple pure (sugar free)
- Jello (sugar free), you can also buy powder and diy
- coconut water
- tuna for stage 3 post op
- beef / chicken so you can prep your soups.. the ones at super market have bad taste..

Misc:
4 oz plastic containers to measure Water and food intake

Meds:
- baby aspirin
- gas x strips to help out with gas
- get your chewable muti Vitamins and Calcium, sublingual B-12 (in my case I used them at week #8)
- Vitamin C to help produce collagen for skin elasticity.
- Biotin to help with hair loss
- baby wipes.. first weeks tings do not come out normal (sorry tmi but good to know)
