What did you buy?

Well I finally get a date on Thursday. This past month and a half has been way to slow. I have really put off buying anything until I talk to my Dr and NUT and see what they suggest having on hand for the week or weeks to follow since I know me and I probably wont want to get out much, but I am curious what you bought before surgery and was there something you didnt buy that you wished you had? i.e. food (what kinds), vitamins, blender, sock puppet, whatever...

Thanks,

Sher

LOL!!!  One can never have too many sock puppets!!    

You will need a couple of really good pillows to get you home, I had one for my belly and one for my side on the ride home...  I cannot imagine making it without them!

I invested in a good blender, and I got some AnyWhey protein powder.  LOTS of Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast too!!!    V8 Diet splash comes in lots of yummy flavors too!

Now as far as other foods, I stocked up on Sugar Free jello and pudding, Low Fat cottage cheese, oatmeal, etc...  but I have the band, so I will leave the grocery list for you up to a RNY person!    And they will have to inform you about vitamins, I was only in liquid vitamins for a SHORT period and I never did find any I liked.

I did get a small photo frame for the hospital to take my liitle guy's picture in, and the whole day of surgery, right up until the wheeled me in, I had it showing it to all the nurses and assistants and even Dr. Richards, I wanted them all to know I was a Mom and they had to take care of me for Connor!

Good Luck and always ask away!!!!
