I don't know if you would need that. Why do you think you would need that?

I have sjogren's syndrome and it causes dry mouth, eyes and nose. I use humidifiers in the winter. Having surgery also makes your nose and mouth dry. This takes up about as much room as a coffee mug and thought it might be soothing

Comfy sweats, your tooth brush, hairbrush and socks. Your feet will be freezing. I took my iPad but didn't read too much. But I could face book etc.

I've not been cold since 1985, but I will take warm clothes just in case! I'd hate to shiver with incisions! Plus it is February! I can do anything I wanna do on my phone...that's all the electronics I am gonna take. My bff bought me a travel set of Burt's Bees for hosp...some lotion and lip balm in it. I have super oily hair. I am taking some spray, dry Shampoo.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
