All those on the 28th count down with me...

6 more sleeps!!!

I will most likely be the first in and first out as I am in Australia. What is the best advice you have been given through these forums?

I would say tooth brush, tooth paste, socks, chap stick, big night gown ( so that it want stick to you), hair brush and comb ( depending on how you do your hair), your breathing machine, your own toiletries.

Earplugs

Why earplugs?

Why earplugs?

It can be quite noisy. In my hospital, they have single rooms, but my closest neighbor must have been hard of hearing because her TV was quite loud. Plus, often my door was left ajar and I could hear hallway conversations.

Wow I would not have thought of the eqr plugs. But I will bring a pair just in case. At my hospital we have private rooms.

Move around! Burp as much as you can/need to! It will get stuck and hurt more in certain places, left side is the worst! The only way for it to move, is for you to move! Walk! & let it out however you have to! :) it took over a week for mine to finally clear out!

Last day of work is done. Boss is a nosey parker. Managed to squirm out of there without revealing too much. Sigh! Not back till 11//12. Hope it's enough.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
