Anything I should have ready at home for after surgery?
Protein shake samples, vitamins, tylenol, gas-x. and fill your scripts for pain and nausea meds so those are waiting for you.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
As Kelly pointed out, make sure your prescriptions for pain meds are
filled and that you have something for gas and constipation. Get small
amounts of the other stuff (protein powders and drinks, jello, soups etc.)
because you may find that you don't like them after surgery. I had trouble
with all the "sweet" stuff..it seems to be pretty common. You may find
that a chicken broth or strained chicken noodle soup is very welcome
during your liquid phase. Good luck!
