getting ready for surgery

I am scheduled for surgery June 21, 2011 and I can't help but feel I should be doing something to get ready.  I am having RNY in Guelph, ON.  My bariatric support buddies have told me to stock up on sugarfree freezies and gas X.  Is there anything else that anyone can suggest I do before to make life easier afterwards.  I will also be moving on July 1st and I know I won't be able to do much yet by then so I've been told.   I bought both vanilla and chocolate Optifast to switch it up and some have told me to mix crystal light with the vanilla, any ideas for the chocolate?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My hubs got on of those plastic tubs, and put everything I needed in it. It had bandages, alcohol, a pill crusher, gas-x, a pad of paper, pens, chap stick, lotions, and when I came home I added my meds, and cell phone. It was great having everything in one box. Don't forget to put your surgeons number in there and any discharge instructions. I placed all my get well cards in there and responded to them when i was up and around. Good luck!

What a great idea, thank you.
