I took way too much with me. Basically you need a change of clothes and toiletries if you want to have a shower (I waited until I got home). I also took a magazine to flip through while waiting for surgery. Good luck

Thanks for that. Yes I would probably take to much as well. Hubby keeps telling me that I am not going on a weeks vacation.

Will take your advice and take the bear essentials.

Hey Tas

Are you as nervous as me. I keep telling my hubby I am not going (I am really I haven't suffered optoslop for 2 weeks for no reason).

I have the same stuff as you. My dieticien also told me to get some low fat custard and yogurts as well. I am so looking forward to a cup of coffee.

I don't know how but I did not cheat at all on the optislop. I can't wait until I never see that stuff again.

Good Luck tomorrow Tas and take care.

Good luck to anyone else that is due in the near future.

Basics is really all you need-some PJs and change of clothes, toiletries!! For coming home remember to get some de-gas or peppermint tea!! Thats the one thing I forgot to do because the gas they put in ur abdomen during the surgery rises to ur shoulders post surgery and it gets uncomfy!!

Its honestly not as bad as you imagine it is going to be so don't stress and good luck!! Take care and follow the instructions of the dr's.

Oh...and take the morphine when its offered!!! :confused:

Hi all

Thanks for all the advice and best wishers.

All is done now yay.

Op went well, had a little gas and a little sore but ok, stuff you have to swallow for xray next day is so yuck.

Had really bad nausea for the first 3 mornings which killed me, worked out if i slept upright in recliner i wasnt sick in the morning.

Have been living on 2 iceblocks and liquid malata a day and bit of Water, no real pain just a bit of gas in the cheast and unable to eat anything (think its mental haha)

Saturday night was the first time i had eaten since op on Tuesday, Hubby made me roasted garlic and spud Soup soooooooo nice althought only had 1/4 ladle also up to 800mls Water, went for a short walk and slept in my bed with no morning sickness yay so excited now life is starting to get back to normal.

The one thing I wish I had though of to take was a "button" down shirt to come home in. I like an idiot brought a t-shirt and it was difficult to lift my arms up.

Good luck
