Thanks...How soon after surgery did you take your first sip and did any of you guys had a bad case of dry mouth after surgery. The last time I had surgery I woke up and my mouth was so dry I couldn't feel myself shallow anyway I freaked out didn't enjoy that so really don't want to experience that again

I wasn't allowed to drin****il the day after surgery, but I was allowed to swish water in my mouth later the same day as long as I didn't swallow.

 Chapstick, extra underwear and nose spay (the oxygen they give you during surgery can really dry out your nose, and I kept getting nose bleeds from it and the sailine helped).

 I wished I had brought my own pillow and slippers, otherwise, the best thing I brought was comfy pajama bottoms.

I had a whole bag packed full of all sorts of things that I would need, and the only things I used were my chapstick, my cell and charger and my pillow and blanket (that wasn't a need more of a comfort) and other than that everything else was provided by the hospital and I didn't even think about anything else that was in the bag.
Good Luck to you on your surgery!
