Pre Op Run Down

Hello all you beautiful achievers. First I hope your day is going well.

I am 6 days pre - op and obsessing over making the right decisions and having everything ready for when I come home. I will be having the gastric sleeve with hernia repair along with having my gallbladder removed next monday. I have yet to decide on a vitamin regimin. I wanted to use the patches but my surgeon said he does not recommend those. I have ordered Genepro plain protein to add to any item with a 30g content per serving. I have gatorade and vitamin water along with plain water that includes electrolytes. I have plenty of flavored protein drinks and I have beef and chicken broth as I understand I will need to be on liquids for 3 weeks per my doctor.

Help because I am frantic thinking I have forgotten something important and also I don't know which vitamins to choose.

I would love your advice. Thank You.

Turn the oven off now and don't use it for the next six days. That'll be one less thing to worry about.

I am assuming you are saying stop cooking, don't eat? I am not sure but thank you for the reply

Sugar-free Popsicles and sugar-free jell-o are nice to have. They did taste really sweet when I tried them after surgery. My taste buds had changed. I like to give them 5-7 minutes to melt a little. It's kind of like eating an icee that way.

Wishing you well on your surgery.
