? Non-food related items for post op

Are there any tools that you think I may need for post op? I 'm trying to make this as easy as possible for my mother who will be helping me at home. I have the measuring spoons and cups from the nutrionist. Should I be keeping a journal of how much I eat and when? Anything that you wish someone would have told you?


Thanks in advance

Nicole- I hope your surgery went well. You are lucky you had Dr. Davis and the Emory program to follow! They have a very detailed post op instruction book. That's where I had my surgery. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I was involved in a motorcycle accident and broke my hand and leg. It has really thrown me off my game for 6 months. I guess nobody else writes comments on here. That's too bad.

To answer your questions regarding non-scale things:
- Measuring cups (assorted sizes)
- Tablespoons (plastic)
- Kitchen scale (digital)
- Vegetable peeler

Those are the big kitchen items I used/use daily.

Going through your surgeon's instruction booklet, you might also want things like:

- Sugar Free Jell-O
- Sugar Free Pudding
- Sugar Free Popsicles
- Skim Milk
- Unjury Protein Powder
- Crystal Light flavors for water

What's most important is you stay hydrated and try to get in your protein the first week.
