The all mighty plug in air freshener.



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I am officially sleeved and leaving the hospital today in great spirits. I would just like to pass a tip along.....buy A plug in air freshener for your hospital room. My goodness I got so many complements on my wonderful smelling room From all the staff. It's funny. I even had One of my nurses come in my room and said she knew I was still here because my room smells heavenly. Everyone wanted to come in and sit with me lol!!! I have a private room so I didn't worry about offending a roommate. It's just a apple and cinnamon glade plug in. It does make the room feel more like "home" than a hospital room???? I just thought I would pass this along...as a comfort measure.

something like vanilla is good in most places...a very non-offensive smell and a natural odor killer :)

but that's a great idea... helps YOU relax too

Adding it to my list. Great idea! I love the fresh cotton/clean breeze kind of scents.

I'm bringing an oil diffuser with natural oils. Hopefully the hospital has no problem with it. I had one when I have birth to my son but it was at a different hospital.

@@LipstickLady I have my own private room so they allowed me to have it. I don't know if It would be different with a shared room? I would have asked permission if I were sharing. @@nprcowboy I got home late last night. My big comfy recliner is now my bed for the next few days my husband and daughter got it all set up for me so I'm comfortable while everyone is gone for the day. It's much easier to drink my fluids sitting up than laying in my bed! Thank you!

I am allergic to air fresheners and the oil diffusers in particular really irritate my eyes, but you did inspire me to dig out a couple of nice CDs (my surgery manual says each room has a cd player).

      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.
