What is on your pre op and post op recovery list

I’m trying to get a list together of everything I need for the hospital and everything I need sorted for at home during the recovery period.

I’m only a day case but I want to have everything as it will be a long day I expect I’m in for a uplift and implants .

Hospital –
Dressing gown
Phone power pack
Wipes
Energy drink

Also any tips for around the house –

I’ve got a press button instant hot water so I’ll be able to have a cuppa my kettle is heavy!!!

Super comfy clothes, i actually left hospital in joggers and jumper and dressing gown haha
Straws so you dont need to lift you drinks up to your mouth, throat sweets as some people get a really sore throat after theatre and dry shampoo because washing your hair is a no go for a while x

Snacks for after, slippers, extra pillows or a wedge pillow for sleeping, spare post op bras, ready meals or easy to cook meals, lots of fresh fruit for snacks and fibre as you can get bloated and backed up after surgery, maybe some senacot x

Laxatives 😂
Pain killers
Ice packs
