I have extra panties, grippy socks, my robe, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, toothbrush and paste, hair ties, brush, gas-ex strips, phone and charger and that's about it. I am wearing the clothes that I wear there home. Oh and a pillow with a hot pink pillow case so I know it's mine.

Here's what I took and actually used:

Toiletries (toothbrush, paste, deodorant, powder, BRUSH, shampoo/conditioner). My husband had to buy me a brush in the gift shop because I forgot mine!

My own t-shirt and pajama pants

My own pillow with colorful pillowcase (so I knew it was mine)

Cell phone/charger (used only to call my kids each night)

Slippers

Things I took and didn't use:

Heating pad

Gas-X strips (doctor wouldn't allow)

iPad

Kindle- I don't know if it was just because I was pretty sick right after surgery and spent most of my time dozing but I didn't need anything to pass the time.

Make sure you if you still have a menstrual cycle to take feminine products! The surgery can throw your cycle off :/

Hey! I had the gastric sleeve Jan 15th, and as of today I haven't feel nauseas, right now I'm having 4oz Protein Shake and its ok. What I'm a bit worried is that since yesterday I've been having diarrhea, not much but my instentines have been making weird noises.

Has this happened to any of you post-op?

My doctor said that I was only going to stay for a night, but I prepared myself for three nights.

-a couple of undies, like 5

-toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, lotion, soap, hairbrush

- three pjs

- iPad (didn't use at all cuz the little time I was with my eyes opened I used my cellphone to update my family)

- towel, a big one and two small, with my name sewed, just in case.

I only stayed a night so 80% of what I had in that bag I didn't use

I am all packed and ready to fly away first thing in the morning! Along with most of above mentioned items I am also bringing an audio book for all the walking I am told I will be doing. I am expected to stay in hospital 3-5 days.
