Re: Pre-op Supply List - A work in progress.

[Guest guest]

I think you've got it covered, . The only thing I see that's

deficient is your food stuff list... you are gonna get awful bored

with that limited selection. Let me recommend a variety of juices

(non acidic mostly)... I loved a Pina Colada blend that was high in

calcium .....I found I could not drink any sodas...just juices. I

had to have Ice cream (just vanilla) which I melted and mixed my

nasty liquid meds with in the syringe... lots of jello (just drank it

as liquid before it's set). and a variety of creamed soups... I found

pureed baby fruits to be real tasty...and baby instant oatmeal for

when you get your appetite back...hah! you can thin most any thing

for use in a syringe... I never used the zip & squeeze products

though I heard so much about them... I got all my syringes at the

hospital....I also got the sudafed & affrin & pain meds from the

hospital... ask for ice packs to take home with you too. When is

your surgery???

Hello!

Q-tips - since you can't blow your nose for 6 weeks.

Beef broth - sometimes chicken broth doesn't blend as good with

certain foods. Nice to have a choice.

Ocean Saline Spray - this comes in different names but it's a

salt-based nose spray. Not like Afrin or others with rebound effects.

It simply breaks down any mucus that might collect in upper nose,

throat. I used this all the time the first week.

Tissues/paper towels for nose drips/drooling.

Cheapy wash clothes for catching drips as you eat or for drooling.

Liquid yogurt if you can find it. Drink one a day to help keep yeast

infections at bay since you're on the antibiotics (which are known to

breed yeast infections).

My surgeon would not allow me to rent a suction device. He didn't

want me to remove the natural hydration in my mouth -- says we produce

a liter a day in saliva (yuck! But ask anyway if you feel you need

it. Some surgeons allow it if you have other gunk in there (bleeding,

etc.). I guess I was pretty clean after surgery and didn't have much

to suction out.

Hope this helps!

Irish!

Hi ,

Fortunately, my mom has taken it upon herself to prepare all of my

meals for me. The only thing I need to worry about is eating enough

to make room in the freezer before each of her re-supply visits.

I love your suggestion about the Pina Colada though; I'd never have

thought of that. And how in the world could I have forgotten to add

ice cream!

Thanks,

Ahem... knock-knock... hellooo... clearly you're unaware that you're

talking to the Waterpik Master.

However, I don't actually use a Waterpik model anymore - I burned out

the original in about 7mths. I now use an Interplak

unit made by Conair.

Sigh. I guess I'm the one to have to clarify this.

Persons of both genders can indeed get yeast infections in " other

places " -- including the armpits, skin folds anywhere, and the mouth.

Do not ask me how I know this.

Looks good , you might want to add some tissue boxes. When is

your surgery again? If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

Looks good , you might want to add some tissue boxes. When is

your surgery again? If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

,

Ah, you assume I just meant " healthy " liquids, huh? I say any alcohol

is ok to get through this ordeal ... just make sure it's after all the

antibiotics and other meds are done. And if anyone gets

prescribed that nasty liquid Cleocin, you deserve a good " drink " once

you're done with that. I'll be done tomorrow! Counting the dosages.

Irish!

Congrats on that, Irish!

I hope I don't get prescribed that horrible stuff. I have two big

gaps in my front teeth, so I'm going to beg to get pills of

everything, instead of liquid, on the premise that I'll shove em in

through those spaces. Think the docs will give in?
