Liquids!

[ladybug112000 114]

My two week liquid diet starts tomorrow! I'm so excited but nervous too. I know I can do this but a little support sure wouldn't hurt. Also, what did everyone pack in their hospital bag? I don't want to forget anything!!!

I just took myself in, my Cpap machine for apnea,(no longer needed), and my blood pressure meds,(also no longer needed).We only lived 4 blocks from the hospital so wife would go get anything I needed.

I'm almost two hours from my hospital. I don't want to forget anything.

[ladybug112000 114]

Chapstick! That is one thing I would have forgotten. Thank you!!!!

I agree completely with Lurpa. Less is better.

I remember seeing on the forum somewhere that someone added mouthwash to the list of things to bring to the hospital cause your mouth is going to be extremely dry and you won't have anything by mouth for awhile.

Oh, mouthwash is a great idea! Thank you!!!

I've scoured the suggestions list and found these additions to above items: GasX strips for post-op gas pains, ear plugs (loud hospital), small pillow, warm socks, and a heating pad. Oh and someone mentioned sugar-free cough drops and gum for the dry mouth/sore throat after surgery. Good luck!

They provided me with a mouth moisturizer for that and also a mouthwash swab

You can also get lemon swabs to help with dry mouth
