Op tomorrow! What should I pack??

All suggestions welcome xx

Hey hun I had mine yesterday if u have time get some Piriton as nobody told me about possible itching from the meds. The nurse said everyone gets it apparently? I just posted a thread yesterday about stuff I’ve taken in. Really depends of ur a day case or overnight.

I was overnight so brought snacks and washbag, headphones (didn’t use) magazines (didn’t read) slipper socks (I used in bed to keep my feet extra warm as the compression socks have a little hold on the sole) peppermints (throat was soo sore) Prunes, waterwipes, facial water spray (keep my face hydrated) and two complan sachets (meal in a glass -26 vitamins. The tea and toast was amazing but I was still hungry after that. Plus I had one in the morphine waiting for my breakfast to come) some girls say they loose their appetite but I defo haven’t. Snacking on Prunes and have grapefruit plus blueberries at home.

I haven’t bloated at all yet will see how it goes! All the bet and enjoy ur day I’ve had such fun! Goodluck Fx

Hey Emma, i had my op Sunday (i was a day case) and honestly all i needed was phone/something to read and comfy clothes! They provide u with drink/food you will need and anything else to be honest! Good luck youll be fine xxx

@sam87 How are you feeling after your op? xx

@holly1994 hi im feeling as i expected i wud .. wouldnt say im in pain just pressure really and slightly uncomfortable getting up and walking around.. the painkillers help loads though and it gets easier .. things you wouldnt really expect to be difficult are , like opening doors and flushing toilet chain lol or lifting a glass of water lol but gets easier and better xxx

Thank you all so so much. It was all so much easier and relaxed than I expected. I have to say Mr Traynor is fantastic. Thanks again for all your help xxx

Hope recovery goes well emma! & yes sam !! flushing a chain and bring a spoon up to my mouth to eat lol ! i can’t just turn my arm out and put my drink on the table i have to stand up so that i am face on with the table bend at the knees then place it down :L hahaha. i had unders though so think the recovery meant to be worse 🙁 xx
