what to buy after surgery.

I was just wondering what everyone bought for their liquid diet after surgery.  I need some ideas please..

 Lipton soup, Gatorade, Chobani Yogurt, Tea.  I basically subsisted off Gatorade the first month after surgery and tea.  It depends on your diet.

You will not be eating much at all after surgery, so don't over buy. SF Jello will be soothing also.

This website is very helpful and my surgeon follows most of these guidelines.

Thanks so much for this link.  I haven't found that much about diet for VSG before this and was just looking at Gastric Bypass information!

The best thing I did before surgery was to freeze in ice cube trays any broth from roast beef, chicken and turkey that I cooked.  Once frozen, the cubes can be stored in plastic freezer bags. Those frozen cubes were GREAT during the liquid phase post op....such a treat from canned or packaged mix soups. i still skim off the fat and save the broth any time I cook those sorts of meat for the family so I can enjoy some low salt, nicely seasoned, homemade broth from time to time.

What a GREAT idea !! Thank you !!

EAS Low Carb shakes, chocolate fudge, broth, starbuck's passion herb tea, sf applesauce for taking crushed pills, chewable bariatic advantage multi vitamins, under tongue b 12 at trader's joes, sf jello cups, sf pudding cups, cream of wheat, cream of chicken/mushroom soup but you have to strain it.  I bought a strainer at walmart.

Thanks "sleeve genie", those are great links. I printed some of them out and saved the sites. Great for when you feel like you just don't know what is ok to eat.

sugar free drinks... propel zero is my favorite then and now.
I also bought ramen noodles, trash the noodles and us the broth packs... i like the oriental flavor best.  It is so different than the chicken and beef you can buy.
