All you really need is, clothes to leave in (which can be the same you came in) , toothbrush &paste. Some same Gas x stripes incase you have gas problems. Definitely carmex or whatever lip balm you use. hair accessories, some bottoms to walk in up and down the hall. I end up calling for feminine wipes. I came home today and didn't need anything but those. Blanket and pillow for ride home. Well wishes and blessings to you both.

Yeah! Definetly a pillow for the ride home! I took a spare change of clothes (something loose that won't bother your stomach incisions) and of course the necessary toiletries (toothbrush,toothpaste,face wash wipes). Other then that you won't need much else. I slept for most of the day of and morning after before I was released. I would prep more for after you get home (Like the Clear Liquids you'll need and some form of stool softener).

Pillow for the ride home, slippers and bathrobe if you prefer and change of clothes for when you leave. They will give you gasx, biogenesis, cepacol (sore throat), and toiletries if you need em.

I bring eye Patches and ear plugs, because it is so hard to sleep in a hospital.

I read to bring "room spray"
Because you may be passing a lot of gas - and have a roommate who is too!
Lol
Also, chapstick or something similar for dry lips.
Loose/comfy clothing
I'm bringing earbuds to listen to music incase I get in the mood to!
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Mouth wash
Lotion
Gas x

But I love the idea of eye mask !

I didn't use anything I brought except slippers. Gas passing didn't start until I was home and even then, it's not gas with a smell, it's co2 gas from the surgery.

I'm so confused on what "foods" I need when I get home.

I'm so confused on what "foods" I need when I get home.

The doctor should give you a handout, or let you know! But just incase you should be able to have low sodium broth(chicken,beef,and vegetable), sugarfree Popsicles, and sugar free Jello and sugar free cranberry juice. You should also get protien drinks like Isopure or nectar. They fall under the clear liquids category more so then protien drinks that are like....milky. once gain make sure and talk to your surgeon because he should be going over this with you before your surgery! Hope that helps!
