Top 5 things to bring with to the hospital.....GO!
I bought pants specifically to wear home, I bought pajama bottoms a size larger than I would normally wear so they would be loose on my tummy a pillow is a great idea I wish I had brought one for the ride home. We had a bit of a bumpy ride and every bump hurt. if you have pets its a good idea to keep a pillow near you. My kitties kept wanting to cuddle so I had a pillow I put over my tummy so we could still snuggle

I'm scared
This is one of those things I was talking about in another post with the lack of proper education about surgery. It's not the original poster's fault she wasn't told something, but not eating and drinking at the same time is one of those basic rules that your nutritionist should go over with you pretty much on day one.
-
I'm scared
this applies to all food. This is really something your nutritionist should have gone over with you
-
I'm scared
Well you're not supposed to drink while you eat, didn't your NUT tell you this? While everyone has different instructions it's a pretty universal thing that you're not supposed to drink half an hour before and half an hour to 45 minutes after eating it's also possible you ate too fast or had too much I'm 4 months out and occasionally throw up if I ate too fast
