I'm not planning to take much. Toiletries, comfy sleep pants to wear under my hospital gown, cell phone and charger, reading material in case I get bored, and a stuffed animal or small pillow to help with getting out of bed. Good luck to you on your surgery.

I would do a light weight robe or like I did a long sweater to throw on over my hospital gown for walking...

sleep pants might be hard to take on and off..

And you will have those things on your legs that puff up and down (forgot the name)..

I brought my favorite silk pillow and mouthwash.

Lotion, hair ties,

And to answer your question, I am taking my pillow, Kindle, chapstick, deoderant, toothbrush and paste, hair ties, baby wipes, socks and slippers for walking the halls. I'm not bringing a robe (I don't own one and don't want to spend $$ on something that isn't going to fit me for more than a few weeks or months!)... I'm just planning on double gowning. I would like to bring roll top yoga pants to wear for days 2 and 3 if I feel up to it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
