Surgery date on Monday



Recommended Posts

Advice please! My surgery is on Monday what are things I need or should pack for the hospital.
Thank you!


I remember I packed a pair of warm socks because it can be cold in the hospital room. And a pair of slippers that way I could walk around and my tooth brush and some tooth paste. And a change of clothes so when I went home. You’re gonna be sore and in some pain and be uncomfortable but it’ll be worth if. You got this! This is just the beginning of the journey but the results will be worth it!

I also made sure to pack any Necessary paperwork you need for the hospital and I made sure to have my hair braided so that way I didn’t have to worry about it

Awesome! Thank you for the feedback... I am so darn nervous but know it’s for the better. I anticipate to have my hair braided. Thank you!

They should have a lot of prewarmed blankets, demand them if they don't offer. I don't know about you but I'm taking sweatpants for my bottom half and one of my knitted poncho things to wrap around my shoulders since my arms will probably have IVs and there may be wires etc attached to my sweet self. [emoji40][emoji39][emoji73]Easter Bunny[emoji195] and I say good luck for your tomorrows and heal healthy!

      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.
