deftonestiffany 17 Posted November 19, 2014 OK sleever, I am 6 days before the big day, and NERVOUS AS HELL!! I have all the "what ifs" playing in my head, but deep down inside I have such a calm feeling that everything will be ok, a positive intuition.... any last min advice? any last min shopping haul advice? any :night before surgery" nerve calming advice? thank you for all your support thus far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofmevsg 49 Posted November 19, 2014 Gas x strips!!!!!! They were a huge saver for me. If I had to do it over I would have taken them without telling the nurse. She took them for approval and I waited 2 hours for relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigGirlPanties 957 Posted November 19, 2014 your taste buds may change after surgery...so you don't want to stock up on supplies too much... the night before I was a wreck...couldn't sleep...so excited... tylenol pm helped me...I put on a "happy" movie and fell asleep watching it (usually takes me about an hour after I take it to doze off) Best thing I ever did for ME! Good luck! BTW, you may qualify for free Protein shakes, Vitamins and scar cream by filling out the form on InsureNutrition.com....comes right to your door every month!

4me4them 381 Posted November 19, 2014 If you have an iPod there are some free guided relaxation meditations on the itunes store...I use them before I go to bed if I'm feeling really keyed up...or if I wake up and can't fall back to sleep...they help me clear my mind.

Breezy31 30 Posted November 22, 2014 Yay! So exciting! I would not buy a while lot just yet. Your taste buds may change after surgery. Mine did and now I have a cabinet full of stuff that you couldn't pay me enough to drink! I took a hot bubble bath the night before. It was so relaxing! I felt refreshed the next morning. You will do great! Keeping thinking positive thoughts! Also, be sure to walk after surgery. This will help with your recovery. I got up to walk about 2 hours after surgery. Walk walk walk!! Sending you good vibes!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
