Post-op supplies question–reply
Hi Susan–
I read your post on OSSG–in addition to the food items you mentioned, you will
need a protein source. My surgeon had us use Boost high protein. I quickly
moved on to Carnation Hot Cocoa made with skim milk and a scoop of chocolate
protein powder. Tastes way better than Boost. I also drank clear chicken
broth–Swanson sells them now in small single serving boxes–a better choice
since you won’t go through large boxes or cans very fast. I also needed liquid
simethicone to cope with post-op gas, and suppository laxatives (I got
constipated post op so the gas had trouble getting out! :^( ) Caffeine free
herbal teas were good too–I had esophogeal spasms and the warm tea calmed them
down real quick.
Hope this helps–Good Luck!
