What should be on my need list after surgery?

My surgery isn't until June 30, but I'm in need of some advice about what I should have purchased before I go in. I don't know if I need a food scale or not. I'm anxious to hear about the best tasting protein drinks and the names of liquid vitamins. My desire is to have my cabinets and refrigerator filled with the necessary foods and products to keep me on track. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...Thanks.

From everything I've heard, you shouldn't buy too much! Most people's tastes change after surgery, so what tasted great before can taste nasty after. There are many places that sell samples of protein powders. You can order a bunch of samples, and try them post-op to see what you like. I'm sure there are posties that can give more info. Irene
