Surgery on Monday
Hi Patti!
My surgery is on Tuesday, so I'll be interested to hear what everyone has to say! At this point, I have my full liquid phase foods bought for when I get home, plenty of lip balm for the hospital stay, and I'll be bringing something VERY loose and comfy to wear home.
Not sure what else I should be preparing!
Prayers for a smooth surgery and easy recovery for you!

HEY PATTI!!!! WOOHOOO you're almost a LOSER!!! This was my want/need list before surgery, hope it helps. WISHING U A super FAST recovery!!!
*Gas X Chewables(for post-op gasoline)
*Dramamine Chewables(for post op nausea)
*Centrum Chewables
*B12 liquid
*Adult Liquid Tylenol(for pain)
*Chewable Vit C
*Calcium chews
*Pill Crusher
*Magic Bullet
*SF puddin
*SF jello
*SF popsicle
*SF Instant Breakfast
*Skim milk
*Chicken BRoth
*Cream Soups(must be strained)
*SF Yogurt
*SF Flavored Waters(crystal lights,koolaid)
*Protein Samples(don't want to waste money on a big tub)
*Sippy Cup(to prevent gulping)
*Baby Spoon(for smaller bits)
FYI: the magic bullet is the BOMB
also, I crushed up bouillon cubes to add a little flavor to my chicken broth It made it soooo much more yummy oooo and unflavored protein too, it changed the color a little but you can't taste it. I also add protein to my puddin. For the protein shakes, the less fluid you put in them the less you have to try and drink, for mine I add one scoop of protein(ex.chocolate), 1/2 cup of 1%milk or less and about 1/2 cup of crushed ice blend in the magic bullet, and it fills a small coffee cup full. hUMM if i think of anything else i'll post.. hope this helps.. the best protein for me so far is Whey Tech Chocolate (Vitamin Shoppe brand) It is wonderfulllll.
hugs,
nora
