approved
I found out yesterday that I am approved for surgery!!!! My date is set for June 29th....enough time to get everything ready. For those that have done this, what should I have on hand for post op? Anything you can think of like...... "gee, I wish I had known that....." 
2 months is not a lot of time, I know, but my nerves are going to go through the roof. Any help on that end would be appreciated as well!

it is so exciting isn't it?!!!
I have not yet had my surgery.....I can tell you these are the things that I have prepared myself with for the immediate pre and post op liquid only phase:
protein shake samples including unflavored *samples cuz I hear that taste can change post op
broths
sf jello
sf popsicles
crystal light
liquid vitamins/calcium
gasX
miralax *in case of constipation due to protein
diaper rash or vitamin A&D *for well.....lets just say liquid in liquid out....ouch
a filtered water pitcher
a sippy cup *to discourage gulping
a heating pad *for the air they pump in you during surgery
can't think of anything else just yet....
