HI EVERYONE

just wondering what items you found useful post OP?

So far i seen gas

gaterade 0

water

protein powder

1. Melting tablets for vitamins. I like the Barimelts brand.
2. Unflavored Isopure Protein Powder, 100% Whey Protein Isolate. I mixed it in for extra protein.
3. I drink regular water as well as Vitamin Water Zero Costco brand.
4. Premier Protein Shakes from Costco - Chocolate, Carmel, Vanilla (I like to mix pumpkin pie spice with vanilla)
5. Gold Bond Ultimate hydrating lotion
6. MRM Low Carb Protein - Chocolate ( I mix this with the hot chocolate powder they gave me and make popsicles)
7. popsicle molds ☝?
8. If you don't have a full body girdle ( I had two) I found them to be more helpful then the weird binder thing they gave me the hospital. It helped hold me in and up so my stomach didn't hang down and hurt.
9. I got cannabis tinctures with high CBD content because I am a baby with pain and you can't take more pain meds
10. I also got a cannabis CBD cream that I absolutely loved to use on my pain (not on incision sites of course)

Is that what you're asking?

I used this also on the holes and belly button worked great!

The one thing that saved me from the unbearable gas pain is Charco Caps at Wal-Mart. The Gas-X did nothing as it for the gas in your colon. I used Charco Caps which are capsules of activated charcoal. I can not recommend these enough. I’ve had other major surgeries and never felt anything like that gas pain. Good luck!

Protein shakes, broth, jello to start. But dont stock up too much on anything... what you liked before you may not like after!

I was drinking ensure max protein pre-op and it’s still good, but I prefer to make my own drinks now with water and premier protein chocolate. Sugar free jello and I am surviving on sugar free popsicles. I’m one week Post op today! Also Bone Broth as it has protein. I got this broth at Kroger and it is sooo good! It smells good and tastes much heartier than a regular bone broth, but still has that delicate broth consistency for our recovering tummies. I can’t stomach any other bone broth bc to me it smells like dead meat. Yuck! And this has 10 grams of protein. It’s about 4 bucks more but is great!

Oh yeah Bone Broth, I use that too. I use the one from Costco and they had chicken bone broth in refrigerator section as well, but that has to be used faster.
