October 18 surgery date! Need some advice please

[mommabear2311 31]

Yesterday I scheduled my surgery for October 18th. I start my liver reduction diet on Tuesday. What are some things you want to take to the hospital? What helped you be comfortable or at least somewhat while at the hospital? I think I will have a 2 night stay. Thanks!

I stayed 8 hours and took nothing . I think you will sleep and rest. Walk a little. So for sure slippers and a robe. You can pack a heavy bag but seriously doubt you will need it. Happy for you!!!!!!!

mine is october 17th and im finding the liver shrinking diet to be really tough! not so much the eating part but the non smoking AND barely eating AND no caffeine...i start out my day totally motivated its around this time that the idea of a cigarette and some warm coffee sound really great im trying not to self sabotage but im ready to just say f it and push back the surgery

I was only in hospital one night. I wore the clothes home that I wore in since I wasn't in them very long, except for fresh panties.

I just wore the hospital gown and walked in my room, but they would have given me a second gown to wear backwards if I had wanted to walk the halls. I did not want to fool with pj's due to my IV.

We took my laptop and David and I watched movies until he went home. I had my phone and charger. some lysterine mouth spray, carmex and a hair brush.

all I did was sip Clear liquids, sleep and walk. I was pretty tired!
