I thought I would get it now since my surgery is in two weeks but I don't know what to buy or where to buy it at. Anyone have any great ideas?

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! 
 
I guess I need to hit the stores. I just ordered some sample packs of Isopure and some Unjury samples. I hear the chicken soup is awesome. I thought I should try some soon and order some more of what I like to get me by for the first weeks or so until I can move on to mushies. I guess my doc goes slow on reintroducing foods, so it might be a while before I can eat the normal stuff.

Thanks for you post and I hope your recovery is going well. It looks like you just had surgery. Message me how you are doing if you would like. I would love to hear how your surgery went and how you are doing now.

Thanks for responding to my question!

I havent had my surgery yet.. They hvent given me the exact date but the said it should be in mid august - early september.

I've been trying to figure out things i should get for after surgery aswell.. But then i saw some posts of people mentioning how their taste changed after surgery.

I'm just gonna get sample packs of stuff and only order more of what i like, after surgery.. Just incase my taste is to change. lol.

but i'm loading up on crystal light. love that stuff.haha.

I love crystal light too. Although I've crystal lighted myself out.  I had to take a break from it.  Right now I am doing smar****er and aquafina flavorsplash.

My only suggestion would be to not stock up on too much.  I swear, I wasted so much in that first month or so post-op!  Buy a few different things to try...but, not too much of any one thing!  Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your input ladies!
 
I love Crystal Light too. I guess since soda will be out, it will become my new favorite drink. I can see how you could get too much of it after a while though.

I ordered several variety packs of stuff to try. I am tempted too to wait to try them since my taste could change. My only concern is I ordered them on line and I worry that I will be out of stuff while waiting for a new order to arrive. I guess I will see how long this order takes to get here.

Thanks again for you advice. The people on this forum are so wonderful!
On my way!!!!!!
