Thanks for all of your suggestions, I appreciate it!

Hi All, I've been reading the forums this week, trying to compose my pre-surgery shopping list. Can any veterans help me out and let me know if I'm forgetting anything? Thanks! Gas-X Strips Chapstick liquid Tylenol Chewable Multivitamins Baby Wipes Protein powder Ready-to-Drink Protein shakes Probiotic Pearls (this is my own addition, my chiropractor said he thinks it will help my stomach) Biotin Tablets (This is my own addition, since I am worried about my hair falling out when I start to lose weight) Bromelain Tablets (another addition of mine, Bromelain promotes healing after surgery) Grocery: SF Jello SF juice SF Popsicles SF Hot Cocoa Drinkable Yogurt broth and Soup Milk (for protein shakes)

I'm having it done on January 12th as well! For my pre-op diet, I'm supposed to be following the Atkins or Southbeach diet, then do a liquid diet 4 days before surgery. I've gotten sidetracked over the holidays, so I'll be getting back on the wagon with Atkins on January 1st. Good luck, all!

Thanks for your input, all. I will stick it out for the first two days, at least. I'll go home if it's really bad.
