grocery shopping

Sooooooooo, I went to the grocery store yesterday and was going to prep for post-op life. For the first 2 weeks I'm on liquids. So I bought cx broth, not in liquid, that freaks me out, but I got the packets of cx broth seasoning you mix with water. I got Ensure, Crystal Light...what else??? For the first 2 weeks, oh crap Sugar Free Popscicles!!!!!! I forgot those!!!! What other ideas for a source of something different?

Hello Lulu, I got sf jello in the little packs and I also got beef broth too. Hope you have a great day. God Bless Crystal

I am allowed to have cream of wheat, oatmeal, low fat creamed soup, sugar free pudding, sugar free jello, carnation breakfast drink carb consious, Skim milk, crystal light, light yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, unsweetened applesauce, broth and sugar free popscicles. Hope this helps.

Were you allowed to to eat these during the first two weeks or is this the following two weeks? Dotsie - next Thursday's my rebirthday...

this is for my two weeks prior to my surgery.

I bought s/f pudding too. and protien powder. I am going to get gerber rice cereal, the kind I used to put in my kids bottles to make them sleep longer, I have heard our pouch will be kind of like a new baby's tum, so this should be ok. I have to go to the NUT next Thursday, I'm sure she will give me a list, at least I hope she does. s/f Popcicles sounds good, if I can keep my son from eating them... Cindee

I did and still do lots of egg drop soup and wonton broth. I checked with my doctor before and asked about the egg drop soup and he ok'ed it. Now I have to strain it but I still find it filling and more satisfying than the chicken broth I was having before. Also am drinking a total of 12 oz of isopure a day now. Tastes kinda like watered down vanilla pudding. The good thing is that after surgery I stopped being hungry...actually at the end of my second week of liquids...I stopped being as hungry. OOOO...one thing I found out is not to let myself get real hungry. If I let too many hours go between eating that is when I wanted to eat whatever was infront of me. Good Luck!!! And God Bless!!!
