snack suggestions for after hysterectomy surgery

For taking pain meds I buy pre-packaged rice krispy treats. Work amazingly well.

Fruit, jello, fruit, nutrigrain bars, fruit, soup, fruit, chocolate, did I mention fruit? Lol

This was such a great question! I really appreciate all the responses. I read each response and made a grocery list for this weekend. My surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday, so I'm in the final stages of getting stuff ready.
Thanks!

Awesome ideas! Thanks so much! The only thing I think that will be hard for me is I don't like yogurt, pudding, or most fruits. I'm a veggie girl. I just made a list based on everyone's suggestions, and this is what I have:

Fiber granola bars
chips
honey dew melon (will cut up so easier to eat)
watermelon (will cut up so easier to eat)
Jello or mouse
cheese sticks
2 ice creams
cucumbers
carrot sticks
2 Hummus
saltine crackers
graham crackers
a few cans of different types of soup
ginger ale
prunes and/or figs
apple juice
instant mashed potatoes (I love fake mashed potatoes, but not real ones! LOL!)
Italian ice or popsicles - or both
lots of eggs (scrambled, over easy, in a wrap with some cheese...)
rice crispy treats

I already have a lot of green tea at home and will drink that, plus tons of plain water. I also already have a few boxes of pasta, so I could just eat some ziti and butter - which I like to eat when I don't feel well. But my #1 food to eat when I don't feel well is ice cream!

Thanks for compiling the list, Planner!

Don't forget to add ziplock baggies to your list!! 😇

One thing I had wished was that I had gotten paid the day before my surgey so that could have packed the snacks I enjoy. I was going to my parents the first two weeks and they had none of my favorites....I had to make due with what they had. I so craved ice cream, yogurt and pringles chips. I even wanted pbj but all they had was strawberry jam which I dont like

This is what I've been snacking on:


Ice Cream - to kill the hot flashes (that's what I keep telling dh anyway)
Jello - LOVE jello
Potato Chips - easy, no hassle snack (technically a veg? therefore "healthy")
Yogurts - easy and quick
Hummus and pita chips
Carrot and celery sticks with dip - dh cuts the veggies and portions them into ziplock bags in fridge.
Peanut butter and crackers.

Drink as much water as possible!!!

Good luck.


Lots and lots of both.
