What do I need to pack?



Recommended Posts

I'm so busy, I haven't really had time to think about what I need to take to the hospital with me. I have:

Slippers

Nightwear

Underwear

Clothes to wear home

Toothbrush & toothpaste

Baby wipes

Vaseline for dry lips

What else do I need?

Thanks :-)

You won't need most of that since you'll be sleeping a lot. Of all the things I packed, I only used:

Toothbrush & toothpaste

hairbrush

phone charger

chap stick

crossword puzzle book

Wore the same clothes home as I wore coming in since I only had them on for an hour or so. I just wore a comfy jogging jacket and pants.

Good luck on your new adventure!

I really did not pack to much because i knew my stay wouldn't be long....I basically brought myself, tooth brush & tooth paste, panties nighty and the clothes I wore which were leggings and a tshirt (which was clean) and my flip flops...

Good Luck to you :)

I took: Clean underwear, pajamas, socks, slippers, hair brush, tooth brush, tooth paste, hand sanitizer, cell phone, book, laptop, journal (for writing food), clothes for wearing home... and I think that was it. Honesly I never once used my laptop or a book .I slept almost the whole time. The essentials are the personal care items and clothes. also remember, most hospitals have extra tooth brushes, tooth paste, chapstick, etc if you forget. :)

Thanks Molly :-) When is your date? Good ideas from everyone. Bet I take stuff to read and watch and never even get it out of the bag. Not looking forward to the next couple of days but looking forward to the end of a fight I've been having all my life :-) x

      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.
