    Default Prep for surgery

    Only me again! Gosh i'm full of questions today!
    So, I've been sorting out lots of things in preparation for surgery, im an organised kind of person.
    I've got a super sippy big water bottle, protein shakes - both ready made and powder, protein water, various vitamins and sublingual B12.
    I think im going to make some nourishing broth and freeze it in tiny portions.
    I'm thinking about what to take to the hospital so clothes, chapstick, gown, phone charger, laptop, book, slippers.... hmmmm...
    Any other tips on preparing... Im going to make sure the house is super clean and all the washing done etc
    Any more tips?

    You really won't need much in the hospital. I slept on and off while there. I didn't even read or use my phone too much. I would suggest bringing your own pillow. For me, the hospital bed was soooo uncomfortable. I was there only one night so that is all I needed. For clothes the looser the better. Also, when you leave it is better to have some slip on shoes. Makes things a little easier.

    Moisterizing lipstick.
    Little pillow to tuck between your seatbelt and belly, for the ride home.
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.
