Packing for the Hospital



Recommended Posts

Marjon9 & Furellie, how funny.

I don't plan on wearing a bra home. I'm a 42 DD and if someone has a problem with the fact that I am "free balling", I hope to be to hopped up on meds to give a crap.

Well, if I wasn't worried about them reaching down there and hitting the incision areas whilst they free ball.....lol!

Being the obsessive person that I am I brought a ton of stuff, however, one thing I think everyone should bring with them are Bullion Cubes so you have nourishment for your journey home! It took me over 12 hours to get home and they came in handy. Good luck!

That was me, alright.:)

Ixnay on the coughdrops--you could swallow them and get stuck--especially easy when you are reclining. Better to get some of those thin strips or spray for sore throat.:)

just bring slippers and loose fitting clothes to go home in. The hospital has everything else and you won't be there long. They will likely put a binder on you before you leave so make sure what you bring is large enough for that to fit comfortably under your clothes.

If you see a short fat chick walking around TJ next week looking like she bought her clothes in the men's department of Walmart, that'll be me wink.gif

A pie with a little ice cream sounds great. Do you think they will let you put the ice cream in the Nurses Station Freezer? LOL

      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.
