I need some pre-op assistance

I go for surgery Aug. 10, I really need some input..Does anyone have a before shopping list. Guidance in that direction.. From Vitamins, Protein Drinks, I need advice on everything. Is there something you did not have that you would have gotten otherwise...I did not expect my surgery to be so soon...I do not want to miss anything to vital to my recovery...I thank you in advance...for you help. Jeana

I know there has been many posts on the subject. A few things to pack: pillow lip balm body lotion slippers nightgown camera reading material photos clock toiletries long handled spoon c-pac machine if you use one comfortable clothes to wear home Food items for home couple cans of chicken broth, bottle apple juice, sugar free Popsicles, sugar free jello. Have all medications filled, protian (whey) for shakes, drink lots of water, liquid or chewable vitamins, chewable calcium, B-12, are just a few things. Your doctor should give you a list. Check out some web sites on products for WLS patients. Hope this gives you some ideas. Marla

I would say Marla pretty much covered it all. Patty

Our surgeries are the same day. Make sure you have plenty of different things to drink. I'm going to have 4-5 different Crystal Lights at home. I hope we have a good day and our surgeries go smooth. Don't stress about anything right now. We're both going to do great. Take care. Mary
