I’m in the beginning stages of surgery prep. but I’m a planner so I’ve been thinking… Does anyone have suggestions for post sleeve surgery necessities? Portion cups? Portion control plates? Best cup for sipping post surgery? Etc.

…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.

THE CROCS!!! I forgot about those lmao. Going tomorrow to get me a pair for my surgery. Thanks for that reminder lol. oh and that throat spray, never heard of it... Gonna get me that too

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
