I found my pill crusher at Walmart over where they have the pill containers that you can put your pills in for every day of the week. Haven't looked for the liquid tylenol yet but it will be a generic brand as tylenol doesn't actually make it anymore

I will try to google it.

Hello Klperry' date=' I know what you mean about the date being close. Just a while ago it was July for me that's when I received my surgery date. I think everything became real last week when I went in for pre op testing.[/quote']

Me 2... I was like ooo its official now

Mine happened really fast. Went for my 1st appt Aug 16 got approved Sept 14 surgery the 25th!! Started pre-op diet the 17th. I think I'm still in shock!!

I am also on 9/25 in San Francisco! I am super excited. I got some negative feedback from a sibling yesterday, but other than that I'm ready to go. I got my post op meds, protein shakes, bullion cubes, and my overnight bag is packed! :) Best wishes to you all!

Wow that was quick. I probably could of had it already but my first appt was beginning of July and then I was away at a grad class for a week then 2 weeks down the shore. So 2nd surgeon appt was not till August. Got out of the sleep study and cardiac stuff. Just met with the doctors and got signed off of those. Plus could of been a week earlier if my pcp didnt drop the ball and sent her letter in when she said she would.

What are you packing for the hospital?

Haven't even given it a thought. Hospital says don't bring cell phones, etc but my hubby is dropping me off and going home with the kids so I have to be able to call people to let them know I'm ok. I was told to bring a small pillow to hold against your stomach while walking and getting up. Plus I'm a baby and I always bring my own pillow to sleep on.

I am the 25th also in Mexico with Dr Alvarez. I worked last night and drove halfway thru Texas.

I think I have EVERYTHING! broth, Popsicles, Isopure's, mio's to help the Isopure's, baby spoons and little dishes, mug warmer, heating pad, Biotin, gas-x - I feel a little OCD!!

I am nervous but excited in a tummy rolling mix! Best wishes to everyone for fast painless healing!

Crystal light I also had some clear liquid Protein drinks that were not so icky sweet. Carmex was my friend . In my hospital

They had these things that were like baby wipes but bigger they called them bath wipes .Ask for some extra you can bring them home and warm them in the microwave they are heavenly. I love freely fresh and clean and the warm felt great
