Packing for Tijuana

[Tjo1982 12]

Okay, I have a ridiculously bad habit of majorly over packing for EVERYTHING.

I leave next Friday, flying from Dallas to San Diego to go for surgery on Saturday. I will return on Tuesday.

Ladies and gentleman... What are the absolute Necessities???

I don't want to end up with a whole bunch of stuff I won't need!

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Comfie pants, comfie tops, slip on shoes, jammies, phone, charger, tablet/iPad and chargers, camera, books if you read, GasX strips, Water flavor packets (propel zero, crystal light, etc), personal toiletries, passport and sunglasses. I did it easily with a small carryon. If you are going to have a drain, pants with pockets are handy to put the bulb in. If not, bring a safety pin. I used a pin to attach the drain to the inside front of my jammies so I didn't worry about rolling over on it.

And don't worry about forgetting something, depending on where you are staying, you can always buy any necessities. Walmart and GNC are right up the street from the Marriott. I ended up buying pedialyte, Isopure and herbal tea bags when I was there. My sister forgot her sunglasses and picked up a pair at Walmart.

@@Kindle thank you so much! I've made myself a list from your suggestions!

It was single bottles from GNC. I was just looking for some way to get some Protein in on the clear liquid stage. Gotta say I was not a fan. Maybe it was because it was so soon postop, but those isopures were the only things that ever made me gag. I bought 2 bottles but couldn't finish either. But some people love em, so.....

chicken broth, herbal Decaf tea, pedialyte and popsicles went down the easiest those first few days. And the drinkable yogurt starting the 4th day was oh so good!
