The extension cord was crucial for me.

What is an extension cord? Or should I ask, an extension cord to what?

It's an electrical cord that plugs in the electrical socket that's has a plug at the end. It allows you to lengthen your power cords.

Most hospitals were built before we were hooked up to all of these electronics. Therefore, plugs for laptops or phone chargers are too far away or awkward to reach from your hospital bed.

Back2barb had said that the best things She took with her were front snap sports bras and an extension cord. I assumed that it was a bra with an extension cord...so funny...I guess I should read properly.

When I went in for my surgery I was on my period. So the gave me hospital underwear and pads. They were cloth w/elastic. Nothing wrong with them, I had other things to worry about other than underwear ;). They did the job :).

I was wondering what part of the world do they not have extension cords! :) Then I thought maybe they call them something else where you're from.

      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.
