Well my date is fast approaching and I would like to know what everyone would suggest stocking up on after surgery.

So far I am stocked up with my vitamins, calcium citrate chews/liquids, non flavor protein, chicken soup protein.  What else would you suggest having on hand?

Thanks.

For me I pretty much lived off of Cream of Mushroom soup and Crystal Light, lol. It's very exciting to get everything ready for surgery....but truth be told you don't really use most of it. Sounds to me like you have all the important things covered. I would focus of maybe just preparing the "nest". Making sure you will be comfortable when you get home. You will be pretty sore the first week or 2 so you want to do as little as possible and be cozy if you can =)

Other kinds of soup in case after surgery you don't like chicken. Water flavoring as it some people cannot drink plain water it would hurt. A blender and ice.

Allowable medication for constipation, regular strength Tylenol for pain.

Thanks for the replies.  I wish I could get the "Nest" ready, but my new house's closing date got moved to Oct 10th so it is going to be a mad scramble to get is ready for when I get home...
