Going shopping 2nite. Please help
I need to know what I need to get for the first couple of weeks I am back. What were you drinking at that point? Can you have jello or do you have to wait a couple of weeks?
Im trying to get everything together this week and next week so it wont be a pain when I get home from surgery.
Also, with protein drinks the first 2 weeks what did you drink? I cant stand Isopure. Thanks for your help!

This is what I lived on for the first week.
1.) Protein shakes- I love Chike Banana Magic
2.) Water
3.) Crystal light packets
4.) Chicken/Beef Broth
5.) Shaker Bottles for Protein Drinks
6.) 1oz shot glass ( I tried to drink one of these every 15-20 minutes)
7.) Gatorade (only used for first two days for hydration, after that it has too much sugar)
That's about all I can think of right now. This list was just for clear liquids. You can add some soups too as you get into full liquids.
Hope this helps!

If you fear nothing, then you love nothing. If you love nothing, what joy can there be in life?

I had clear liquids the first week, which included Jello--sugar free. Weeks 2 and 3 were full liquids; cream soups, protein shakes, instant breakfasts in milk (again, sugar free) and of course lots and lots of water. I love the Sobe zero calorie fruit drinks--tons of flavor, no calories, but not too sweet. Found I disliked sweets after surgery, although a taste now and then is better now that I'm 7 weeks out--especially fruits. Fuse makes some 0 calorie/no carb fruit drinks that are good too. Anything to break the Chocolate, Vanilla, Water, repeat cycle!
I liked the instant breakfasts OK, and pretty much lived on those, the Atkins shakes and Slim Fast (Low Carb). They were less expensive than the others I found, and gave me the protein I needed without having to have more than 3 or 4 in a day.
Don't forget smooth yogurt still counts as a full liquid, and if you get the greek yogurts, they have twice as much protein in them. I found one to be a little tart, but a tiny drizzle of honey, or some Splenda made it taste great.
Take care, and let us know how you're doing.
