Made Myself A List For Stuff To Have At Home After Surgery....



Recommended Posts

I have not read any posts about the flavored cool aide sugar free that you just add to a bottle of Water lots of flavors also there is the crystal lite ones too. Thought I would put in my carry one. From what I have read the injury stuff is the best so am going to order some chicken broth today and hope it gets here. Slowly added to my suitcase...Mexico here we come!

MGM, have you checked with your iPhone carry about get the international calling? I am not taking my phone as if I even turn it on it will take a big hit. My husband uses his for work so we put the calling plan on his. Had to do 3 different additions..calling, data, and messaging. Taking both IPads his for work mine because it has all my books. Also the grand kids want to FaceTime with us. :-)

Oh that is right, you will get massive charges if you don't have an international plan. Good suggestion!

I have sprint. Couldn't get an international plan. They suggested I turn off roaming for talk, text and data so I don't get those charges. By doing that, I will be able to still use my iPhone Internet where wifi is available, such as at the hotel. I will stay in touch with my family via emails and Facebook with free wifi.

I downloaded an app that translates English to Spanish. This was helpful when the nurses had difficulty understanding my English. I used my iPad.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
