Hi all,

Would love your advice (or your complete lists) for what to bring with me to the hospital and what stuff to buy in advance so I have when I return!

Perhaps things that I wouldn't have considered or aren't obvious!

One thing I have picked up on from reading peoples stories is about having dry lips from dehydration so I have added lip moisturizer to my list! Would love more insights like this!

Thanks,

J

I loved having my own pjs to walk around in at the hospital...also bought some comfy slipper boot things that I used to walk around in. Chapstick was a biggie for me--i forgot it :-( I bought extra pillows for at home was glad I did.....didn't need my gas x strips.I wish early on I had kept track of my weight in a journal and taken more pics before/during the process.

If I had to do again...a sleep mask! I had to stay two nights and since the nurses check every couple of hours, they just flick on the light. Drove me nuts!

Sugar free throat lozenges & I was so glad I had brought an extension cord for my cell phone
