A small pillow or flat stuffed animal...pepto.....liquid Tylenol..tooth brush and paste for the hospital..sugar free Popsicles and jello..protein shakes or drinks keep carbs low if possible...water bottle (like my flip top thermos with no straw)...calcium chews (watch out for high sugar).....chewable biotin....chewable vitamin D...chewable B complex...chewable multi vitamin..probiotic gummys...broth...sugar free pudding powder I added to my protein shakes.....apple sauce....Greek yogurt (light)....good book for the hospital when I was not walking, I read could not sleep. That was my list oh.....unflavored protein powder too. Best of luck to you!

- Small travel pillow or mini pillowpet to hold against your stomach the first few days-week.

- peppermint tea, to help with gas issues

I recommend that you do not stockpile things like broths or Soups because you may decide you do not want them. I was allowed (on full liquids) yogurt without chunks or seeds, SF Jello or pudding, pureed soups, creamed soups, etc and so I didn't use any of the broths I bought.

thank you very much,, there were lots of things i didnt even think of,,

Also, check with your Dr to see when it is okay to takes vitamins, etc again. Some do not want you consuming vitamins the first week.
