I took my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury broth. It came in handy during the blizzard in Denver! Also, I took maxi dresses. Cute and comfy!

I would like to take a maxi dress to go home in, but want a CHEAP one as I should grow out of it soon!

Walmart has some cute maxi dresses. Not pricey at all. I bought one size smaller than normal and I'm getting more use out of them.

I will check there!

I will check there!

Don't forget to check out local thrift stores that's where I got my pjs for surgery, paid only a few bucks so I don't mind donating them now that they're too big

Hi! I hope you don't mind my question about the whole pajama thing.

I have pajama bottoms, but really not wanting to stain them or destroy them from any Post-op draining, etc

since you were saying that you went to the thrift store I thought that was such a clever idea.

Does everyone recommend doing PJ bottoms and a raggedy Tshirt??

or do you recommend the MuMu style pajamas?
