Comfy clothes Toiletries like tooth brush etc Your own bath soap and shampoo Chap stick A book Contact lens case, saline and or eyeglass case Remember to pack light, you may need the book but likely you will spend your time recovering so not much time or feeling to read. Your experience will be unique for you. Your body, pouch and surgery is your own and won't be identical to anyone else's. Don't forget sunglasses, as weird as that sounds I was most thankful for my sunglasses. Of course I had a 2.5 hour travel time home. Last but not least, don't forget your ID you will need OT to pick up your loretab or whatever pain med they send you home with

Glad your feeling well!! Isn't it exciting to be on this side of the journey? Congrats!

Man I coulda had a bad day, my cna's gave me apple juice every day at the hospital and I drank it like crazy with no problem. . I still think its so weird how each one of our pouches is different and will continue to evolve. I'm going to call mine the special. That way when she gets mad I can put on space balls and watch the part where the alien jumps out of that guys stomach singing hello my baby, hello my darlin. Roflmao

Then do share as soon as you get em together! I can't wait for puréed

Ok I read this, got so excited even though I came home today and went to Walmart to go shopping I am huddled in the passenger seat ATM feeling like walking Walmart for over an hour first day home from hospital = bad idea anyway do you have a good chicken salad recipe?

Wish there was a pool near me ohh well in 9 months we are back to either Oregon or California I can join then

But gettin thru the first week or 2 is what everyone says is half the battle! Congrats!

Glad everything is going great!! I was the opposite, first 48 were great then About 26 of hell then great so keep it up!

Did u get to go home Lori? They opted to keep me till tomarrow because I was spiking a 102 fever last night and a little today but I got to shower and put on my clothes! Here I am today

Just rolled around in tears for the last 35 minutes with sharp pressure from Just below my sternum to my left upper quadrant , it feels gassy but I tried walking some more with no relief. What worked for you?

Thanks all. It got so bad last night they hit me with Thorazine. I woke up at 3 am with the nurse saying we were gonna have to do a Tylenol supp. Cus I was 102.4. This morning though temp is down and I can't stop farting lol. Able to actually lay on my side

Oofta in report the nurse told the crew comming on tat I have been really independent and he hasn't had to come in much but this pain was bad because I called her lol

No drain either do the nurse said I may he some fluid buildup as well

Let me tell ya, I have not hurt so bad to turn on the water works in as long as I could remember but this, oooo mamma this was not good
