Toiletries, a change of clothes, your new gastric "bible" if you got one, and a pencil to take notes with for any last minute going home instructions. Oh, I also brought my own pillow. I find Im much more comfortable with it. I brought magazines and word games too, but I didn't even end up using them at all. I was busy in the hospital lol (And I was there 3 days and 2 nights) Best of Luck with your surgery :)

I took a set of my own comfy pj's. My own pillow (a must), a few magazines and word puzzles (which I didn't even take out of my bag). Between coming out of anesthesia and up and walking there really wasn't much time for anything else! Good luck ...you will do GREAT!!

I brought many many pillows like 5- 2 " mini", 1 log, 1 round, 1 regular-used them all. I hate sleeping on my back & used them under my arms & feet/knees & butt to wedge me up.

I used chapstick & bought a variety pack of lip smackers. Nice to have flavor!

I brought ipad & phone

Charger & extension cord

Small tabletop fan - needed the breeze & noise

Eyemask

Lucky hat

Nightie-I sewed velcro to the straps so I could put on/ take off w/o problems

Robe

Toiletry case-brush, hair ties, face wipes, deodorant, extra glasses.

I brought headphones but didnt use bc I had private room.

allons-y

      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.
