Well I lost my booty lol and I never thought my junk in the trunk would ever go away lol!!!!Don't go out and go crazy buying all sorts of foods for when you come home from the hospital because yoy probably will not be able to eat that much at all!!I got broths,some soups,jello and my isopure protein drinks.And when you get home just remember to take it slow and sip..sip..sip..walk..walk..walk..Good luck on your journey

((((hugs))))

Ditto, I didn't go crazy with buying for post op cause I read, here, not to. I am glad that I didn't because even the things that I did buy, I didn't use half of it. get a little of each thing, your tummy, pouch, changes what you can eat and what you can handle. After surgery I didn't think that I would want anything but popsicles, I was wrong, I wanted warm soup, tomato.

And also, some who like choc flvour before surgery dont after, same with other things, thats also a good reason to not go over board before you know. The first week or so you wont be having much at all, so stick to the things like s/f everything- jelly, iceblocks, a couple of diff flavoured rtd protein drinks etc
Sip lots, and walk. And as soon as you can manage, jump on here and let us know how it all went, and how you are
