Shopping list

[TinksUK 2]

Hey guys, can anyone recommend shopping list definites for post of week 1 and 2?

These attached photos are the lists that my surgery center (Virginia Mason, Seattle, WA) recommended. I'm not attaching the day 0-1 list, because you will be in the hospital probably that day. You'll notice slight variations from surgeon to surgeon. There are also a few other threads on this topic if you can use the search tool. Good luck!

Your surgeon should provide you with your plan including what you can eat when. Yes, there are variations in plans so It’s pretty important to follow the plan you’re given especially during the healing & recovery period (usually about the first 6 weeks).

If you haven’t been given a plan yet contact your surgeon’s office to ask for it. I got mine almost three weeks before which gave me plenty of time to familiarise myself with it, shop in preparation & ask any questions if I needed.

You can discuss any variations, clarifications or additions you may need or prefer with your surgeon during the healing stages & then your dietician as you progress.

All the best.

Zero Sugar Pedialyte. Gatorade zero with Protein, Gatorade fit. Bone Broth. With my doctors it is more about staying hydrated. I was told to push the pedialyte and Gatorade for electrolytes. Protein Shakes.< br /> the pedialyte I tolerate better then Gatorade.

also recommend a hot water bottle to help push the gas through and gas x. And may want to alternate hot Water bottle with ice pack until the pain has resided.

Once you get to week 2 you can add some pureed items and soft cheeses.
