Hospital Must- Haves:
- Pillow with your own cozy pillowcase
- Gas-X strips
- Toothbrush/paste
- Shampoo/Conditioner
- Clean undies
- Chap stick
- Lotion
- Phone/Tablet
- Mouth wash
- Slippers with grippers
- Abdominal Binder- I have only seen one person mention this but I would imagine it will be a friggin life saver
- Loose clothes
- Phone charger!
Pre/Post-op Must- Haves:
- Cup warmer (GENIUS! for those times you are eating something warm and don't want it to be cold by the time you finish)
- Powdered milk... for those liquid diet days when clear broth gets boring and you want something "creamy"
- Yonanas machine. It takes plain, frozen fruit and turns it into a frozen treat!
- How about Unjury's 21g of protein CHEESE SAUCE?! What fat kid doesn't like them some cheese sauce... mix this with some spaghetti squash and its healthy mac.
- Sippy cup/ Tervis cup!
- Baby spoons
- Baby plates
- Pill box for vitamins
Those are my best ones so far. I will add more as I find them!

Jess

DeleteI totally was a girl scout so you pegged me right on! Haha
DeleteThe best thing on this list is the GasX strips... I was in constant pain until I decided to get my friend to drive me to the store for GasX. Within 15-20 mins most of my post-surgery pain was gone! It was all gas and bloating from my stomach to my shoulders. Too bad I waited until day 3 to try it!
ReplyDeleteI will make sure not to wait! I took too many tums the other day and was in so much pain from the gas bloat. ugh
DeleteI need a cup warmer!
ReplyDeleteI was like "duuuuuuhhhhhh" when I heard of that idea. How clever and simple!
DeleteAbout the sippy cup. Spring for a tervis cup. You can keep hot and cold beverages in it and it doesn't have an air lock on in it that you have to suck. No straws and no sucking post surgery. This is so you don't get air into your belly. It will hurt to burp or hiccup for awhile
ReplyDeleteThat is one i have not heard of yet! Thank you for the tip. Last thing I want is to cause more pain or discomfort post op :)
DeleteThanks for reading and following!
