post op diet
Don't go ape sh++ crazy on buying a bunch of protein powders etc at this point. Your taste will change drastically after surgery. What will taste good before will taste nasty post op. Get some samples from your doc, at support groups etc to try before you make the investment. Liquid protein, aka: Protein "shots", are best mixed with water and sipped on. When I tried them straight I was in the loo letting loose.
Your doc's office should have a list of what is edible and what is not.

Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
I wholly agree with Don. Your tastes will radically change. Things that were impossible to pass up might well be totally undesirable after surgery. I've found this absolutely amazing, although somewhat of a relief since many of the poor-choice foods that I loved are no longer a temptation. In fact, honestly, although some food tastes "good" now; I don't have many things that actually "excite" me. And, those that do, such as fruits and frozen yogurt, are things that I was not terribly fond of before.
Best idea is to buy small quantities of anything you buy and not to buy much at all until after your surgery.
