Im making a list of what to pack for my stay in hospital. Im sure i wont need much. Any good suggestions of things you wished you had with you?

Best wishes and congratulations! You are going to do beautiful! I would suggest bringing a nice long charger cord for any electronics.

Good luck!

I only took my cell phone, a pillow for the ride home and biotene mouth spray. I only used my pillow and my cell. I played games while waiting for surgery and never touched it again.

I wore home what I wore to the hospital.

Good luck!!

I took too much....pretty much just something loose and comfy to wear home, easy slip on shoes, phone/tablet and chargers, maybe a book or crossword (but you might end up just napping a lot lol) ...get some GasX Strips (they help SOOOO much!), hairbrush, your own toothbrush if you want (most hospital provide this though, even deodorant too sometimes)...they will probably give you socks too, the non slippy kind...that's pretty much it, you really won't be there long at all and really not need anything...well, I didn't anyway :) They even had me bring my CPAP, but I didn't need it at all and still haven't used it since surgery :)

Good Luck and we'll see you on the other side!!

Val

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
