my surgery is in a few days and I want to use this weekend to prep for when I get home after sleeved. Please chime in with recommended items or tips,

So far I plan to get gasx strips, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles, a recliner to relax in, a cup warmer to keep broth warm, what other supplies need for first few weeks?

thanks

Make sure you have soft comfy clothes, your protein shakes ready for when they are permitted, and I liked having a spill proof coffee cup to keep my broth warm. Hot water bottle too, and reading supply. Good luck. I am so very grateful I was able to do this for myself.

I am 3 days post-op. I didn't need the Gas-X strips while I was in the hospital but have definitely needed them today! My stash includes:

SF Jello

SF Popsicles (only problem is they start melting before I can eat it all)

Isopure RTD (I combined it with a 1/2 gallon of prepared Crystal Light. Mango Peach Isopure w/ Mango Peach CL is yummy!)

Powerade Zero (this is nice when you're tired of water)

Peppermint tea (good for tummy; liquid stevia if you need it sweetened)

broth (College Inn beef broth has a little Protein content)

A body or king size pillow (tummy support for sleeping on your side; this is the only way I can get comfy in bed right now)

Extra blanket (I'm more chilly than I was before)

Comfy/roomy clothes

Back scratcher

The cup warmer is a good idea. Thanks
