Topic: RE: what is everyone packing
Something I REALLY needed that no one mentioned was sugar free lozenges or hard candy. My throat was so dry and raw from the breathing tube during surgery, and my hospital didn't have anything sugar free to suck on.
Maybe not everyone has the problem I did, but if you do it's awful to not have anything to help. It was seriously more painful than the surgery and since you can only drink little sips at a time, the liquid didn't help much at all.
Once DH got some sugar free Ricolla from the drug store, I was right as rain. But it was bad till then. If I were you, I'd rather have then and not need them, than be suffering without.
Good luck on your surgery! I just had mine Sat and am amazed at how easy and relatively little pain I've had. You'll do great!

I am "last suppering" a little every day. I need to start eating low fat tomorrow. I have been able to cut the caffeine down to 1/2 cup of coffee a day.
A lady who had surgery several years ago mentioned that the surgery is "the opportunity of a lifetime". I am trying to keep focusing on that idea.

I lost 18lbs in 3 weeks by cutting out all starch. Eat right protien foods. This is what my surgeron told me to do.
