Dont forget a chapstick and a BIG bottle of water, I had the worst cottonmouth after surgery ! Good luck !!

Heating pad, ice packs, sugar free Popsicles, liquid extra strength Tylenol

I haven't had my surgery yet, but the doctor's office gave me a handbook with recommendations of what to have on hand:

a thermometer so you can see if you have an unusual temp

whatever Vitamins are recommended

dressings for your incision, tape, gauze

and of course the broth, popscicles, Jello etc. on your Clear liquids list.

Also, have your laundry and grocery shopping done beforehand because you aren't allowed to lift anything over ten pounds. Several people here have said to have GasX disolvable strips, too.
