I realize I provided no help to get ready lol...

Start stocking up on protein shakes, protein powders, and sugar free popsicles, crystal lite, etc-- get a few different flavors, you'll get bored

Treat yourself to some comfy sweatpants and tops for recovery if you don't have some already.

My hospital bag had clothes, toiletries, my kindle, make up, and more and I used maybe 5% of what I brought. I was in a hospital gown the entire time and only changed my underwear each day lol never took a shower because I didn't get dirty or sweaty, brushed my teeth and washed my face and that was it. It's always good to have things in case you want it but you will most likely overpack. Also, I didn't use the gas-x I brought, but you should bring some.

One thing I did bring and so happy I did was biotene mouthwash. You can't drink anything before or directly after your surgery and your mouth gets dry. I rinsed with it twice and it was such a huge help!!

Thank you I will surely get the bioten I appreciate the info!

It's also nice to have a pillow in your car. I held mine against my stomach as my husband drive to keep it more stable. It was a good thing to have.

,Oh, congratulations
