What to bring with to the hospital



Recommended Posts

Yay! Good luck to you! I am so anxious for the 4th to come. Time is going too slowly for me.

I'm on September 4th! I need to remember my CPAP machine. The mouth spray is a good idea. I get dry mouth all the time. I am putting that one on my list. Wednesday can't get here quick enough. [emoji51]

I brought a robe (those gowns don't cover much), small cloth blade fan (the room didn't have good AC and I like air circulation. This can be found on Amazon), Slippers (they had the footie socks with anti slip, but I have really large feet and they barely fit), CPAP as instructed, Cell Phone Charger, Headphones (AirPods, they use the same charger as the phone).
I too wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital. Never used my slippers, wore the lovely brown socks they furnished. I also wore the hospital gown with pajama pants underneath. The Iv is hard to deal with if you use your gown. I only took one pair of pj s and I ended up with a leak and a five day stay in the hospital. I took my tooth brush,paste and deodorant and a hair brush. You will be resting for the most part.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
