Good Mornin' Lisa!

What a busy girl you've been! Don't forget clear protein! If you like herbal teas those might be good to get. Sometimes a little warn liquid will make your new tummy feel better. Peppermint tea is especially soothing to the stomach.

Will you need clear liquids? It seems like several of those you bought fall into the full liquid category. I was allowed full liquids at week two. Since you're gonna be a Sleever, maybe that is different. Don't forget that Greek yogurt (plain) applesauce and cream of type soups are full liquids on most eating plans.

Happy shopping!

Oh! And do look into getting some sf Torani's Syrup! It's a flavoring/liquid Splenda sweetened syrup mostly used for flavored coffees. It has lots of uses for those of us with frankentummies! I use vanilla only coffee, yogurt and in lots of the recipes on eggface's website! It's very versatile!

Wow thanks Spotz, now you said what I have is full liquids, what is clear liquids, because that is what I honestly thought I had. The peppermint tea is a good idea, I will definitely pick some of that up.

As I re-read your ost, I think you're ok. Check the fruit bars for "see throughness" as some of those have real fruit pure in them.

No puree Spotz, so I think I should be good, thank you.

Also check with your doc or nutritionist about any cream soups. Some programs don't allow them. I wouldn't buy a LOT of anything, just enough to get you through a few days or so, because you never know what you're going to suddenly hate even if you liked it before. That's not necessarily permanent, just for the first 5-6 weeks you might not like or might not tolerate something you really thought was good before. Taste, smells, textures all can seem enormously different after surgery.

I agree with Ruby.Don't buy a lot of anything. I still have 3 boxs of jello and 2 big boxs of sf popsicles and a ton of the wrong greek yogurt in my fridge that I need to throw out. Just get the basics because your taste's are gonna change.

Sounds like you are doing great! I drank a lot of broth and tea since the warm fluids were easier for me to drink. I also would recommend papaya enzymes and gasx strips. Both good for tummy issues. The pops that I did were just the plain ice pops sugar free. Nothing with fruits. There are hidden sugars that might upset the tummy early on. I has the RNY so you might have different needs. Check with your dr office to get a list of what they recommend. Get the b-12 (sublingual or shots) and gummy vitamins. It would take me all day to eat the two gummies I needed. Be patient with yourself and do not worry too much if you can not get everthing in the first few weeks. Just do your best. Make sure you stay hydrated!!! Super important since you can quickly get dehydrated early on post op. You will do great!! Best of luck with all.

The broths are for protein which your body will need for heaking. Can you make your own broth so that you can control the salt? A good idea is to make the broth and freez it in an icecube tray. Each recepticle in the tray is about 1 oz. Pop 2 cubes and you've got your 2 oz of protein.

Protein shakes??? My dr had me drinking them right after surgery.

Sugar free popsicles!

I USED ORGANIC NO SALT CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE BROTH AFTER MY SLEEVE SURGERY. I GOT PRETTY TIRED OF COLD THINGS SO SOMETHING HOT WAS JUST A GOOD CHANGE. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EAT OR DRINK MUCH OF ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS SO DON'T STOCK UP TO MUCH. BESIDES GETTING IN YOUR PROTEIN AND WATER WILL BE WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO FOCUS MOST ON.

I couldn't have any type of fruit (Edy's sf fruit bars) till a month out or more so you might want to check with your nut about those. I wasn't allowed cream soups either. Did you buy any protein shake mix yet? You will need that once you get home so you are getting some protein in. Skim Milk to mix them with also. I still have sf jello and pudding I didn't use. You can take sf jello and make jello pops with them in the freezer same with sf pudding make pudding pops.
Sounds like you are getting things in order.
You won't be able to eat much right after surgery and just getting in 64 oz to 80 oz of liquids will be hard to do but it does get easier as time goes by.
Good luck!

If I ever had any words of wisdom that fit MY situation its......Dont buy a lot because It tastes good to you now but doesnt mean afterwards it will!
I am waiting for the new drive where the mailman picks up foods for the hungry because I have a lot of stuff to give them! I loved artifical sweetners and now cant eat popsicles or anything that has it in them. Where some can get the sf Syrups, I bite the bullet and get reg creamer because that few calories is much better than being nauseated! ( i drink less than a cup of coffee) I eat about 4 to 6 bites of food a day now....I go shopping once a week and 20.00 was my food bill for this week!!! My protein is 42.00 and thats what I drink mostly....My bet is youre not going to even be hungry:)

Best wishes!
