Must Have's After Surgery

Here's my list of Must Have's after my Lap Band surgery.  What's yours?

Diet guidelines ... same as my doctor's instructions, but on the web.

How different we all are! I had nothing on your list! My must haves were a good blender, high protein foods like chick peas, lentils, loads of veggies.  Basically made my own soups until I could go back to normal foods. And I have never counted calories so never used MFP.  I did check protein and calories every now and then to make sure I was getting enough of the former and not too much f the latter. But t was always in a sensible range.

So this thread just makes the point that we all do what works for us! I hate the taste of artificial shakes etc and so, with my doc's blessing, never had them.  And for me, the band took away my need to count calories. (I do know many people find measuring and recording essential) 

Diet guidelines & instructions from Doc!

Many different protein powders!  Nectar Syntrax Cappuccino was my favorite.  I had way to much and am still using it 9 months out but, it was nice to have so much on hand to have something that I could stand.

Gas X and Miralax!
