I had a bag full of crap but the only things I really used and appreciated: Chapstick, my own pillow, my own blanket, a 6' charging cable for my phone, and slippers to walk around the hospital. Good luck to you!

I took reading materials but never felt like reading. I took several different changes of lounge about clothes - only wore a hospital gown and then one set of clothes. Brought toiletries, didn't really use other than the toothbrush. I had some incontinence supplies I needed i guess....but that's about it.

Slippers. Yes. My own pillow. Yes. Long cable for phone. Yes. I felt so bad that nothing else was useful or mattered.

I was really happy to have a pair of pj shorts for under the gown. Helped when walking in the halls! ????

I agree with some sort of bottoms. I sadly did not bring any and had a hard time keeping myself covered, even though they gave me a gown to put on backwards like a robe. I had a smaller BMI to begin with and the gowns were clearly a "one size" for the bariatric patient. I was drowning so I felt always exposed. Other than that, my hospital supplied everything I needed. I did, however, bring my charger with an extension cord for my phone. Good luck!

Looking back.... The most useful thing would have been a long stick of some sort to poke people who came to wake you up at 3 am.

      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.
