Recommended Posts

I am sending one of my friends a surgery week care package. If someone had sent you one of these, what kind of things do you wish had been in it?

I brought Chapstick but never once used it. Deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, lotion, magazines, slippers, stuffed animal for cheering up, journal, etc.

The awesome stick on heat pads that warm up when you put them on and last 12 hours. You can buy them from chemists or sometimes physiotherapists stock them.

Warm fuzzy socks.

LIttle pillow to hold on the tummy when you need to cough.

Lip Balm definitely.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
