What do I need to do to get ready

What kind of things do I need to do to get ready, My surgery is the 26th, and other than being prepaired for a liquid diet, I have no clue.

Are you talking about when you will be in the hospital? Or are you asking about other things?

I am talking about after i get out of the hospital. I have bough****er and will pick up my protein drink this week, What other kinds of things will I need to stock up on..
You did bring to my mind that fact I haven;'t even begun to think about what I need at the hospial. I guess I need to add  a post for that too. LOL

As far as the hospital you will need your toiletries toothpaste toothbrush soap shampoo condtioner and deoderant. I wasn't allowed a shower until after the drain port was taken out. If you have a cell phone or portable laptop and you want to be on you can bring it. I stayed in the socks they gave me and also the hospital gowns didn't put anything else on.
As far as when you get home you should be on a stage three diet. If you received a book from when you saw the nutritionist it should be in there if it isn't give the nutritionist a call send an email and ask away. Everyones surgeon is different I know some people just out who are allowed pureed foods I am on liquids until I go to my three week post op appointment which is the 18th.
Hope this helps if it doesn't maybe someone else can help you out more.

Thank you
I haven't had to see a nut. I am self pay, and have got to skip some things that I think could be important. I am going to call the doctors office Monday and have them refer me to a NUT. In just reading all this I feel I need that just to help me understand.

P.S. Keep up the great work on being smoke free its so much more easier when you are. I am a past smoker and quit june 2006 and have not gone back since. I feel so much better and so much healthier without sticking that to my lips and my kids are happier
