Help !

I'm so glad that there are so many supportive people on here ! I feel more prepared than ever , mentally, but I still need to get things for surgery .

What are some already made Protein shakes that are quick and easy to find w/o having to order off line ?

What about Vitamins ? B-12 ? Will liquid Centrum do the trick ?

Ever tried protein Popsicles ?? Eww maybe ? Lol idkkkkk....

What about Medicine for monthly cycle ??

What are things I will need for the overnight stay?

Sooo many questions :)

Your dietician should go over all the meds you need after your surgery. I now take 2 multivitamins, B12, and calcium caltrate. As far as overnight/hospital stay things- I brought loose fitting t-shirt, and elastic band shorts. I also had my hair straightener, makeup & other cosmetics. If I had only one thing I could have brought with me it would be my cell phone. My phone was my link to the "outside" world!! I was on it 24/7 when I didn't have visitors.

Oh yeah as far as popscicles- I lived on them! Jello- sugar free ones! Tasted delic! I did also buy protein shakes ahead of time - don't go crazy and buy a ton you can only drink so much- they go a long ways! Good luck :)
