Post op necessities

[ms.sss 14,704]

…also, in terms of immediate post op necessities while in hospital:

Crocs (or any other easily slipped on footwear for walking the halls)

Lip Balm

Moisturising Throat spray (i used Biotene, omg a lifesaver)

Small pillow to hug for the ride home (going over those road bumps hurt man)

I had actually brought a whole bunch of other stuff that never made it out of the overnight bag. If i wasn’t sleeping, i was walking the halls. Didn’t even use my phone NOR my toothbrush, lol.

Yeah the throat spray was key when i woke up from surgery as well as all the times i woke up from my gazillion naps.

Mr. sweet-talked a nurse to tuck the spray bottle in my gurney in the recovery room so it was there as soon as i woke up, thank goodness…my throat was dry like the desert and it hurt!

also really handy in the first couple weeks post cuz i could hardly drink any Water and hydrate my throat

here Is what i used:

Thanks everyone for your feedback! This is super helpful!

Anyone have suggestions for food tracking apps? I currently use MyFitnessPal but I use the free version and I’d love to be able to print my diary to share with my nutritionist
