surgery prep essentials

finally got my date!!! i'm getting DJS on the 8th of december :D super excited!!!!!

i've been stocking up on stuff for recovery over the past couple of months that i wanted to share, which i hope will be a little helpful to others. i also have more things i need to purchase which i'll also add below.

first image ; gel mask, lots and lots of soups (i'm going to be also prepping some meals a week or so beforehand and will be freezing, i'll upload some recipes when i get to cooking :D), baby tooth brush, baby silicone spoons, baby puree food, bone broth condensed paste (the jar makes 39 cups of broth), gnocchi for the soft foods period, an immunity blend that includes tumeric, travel pillow for on the way home and possibly for comfort at home.

second image ; protein!!! i use this for gym already and tastes amazing. i'll probably add it to my smoothies. it has collagen in it :)

third image ; arnica cream for bruising and swelling, and moisturising cream for the dry spots on my face :)

everything else on my list to possibly purchase ; hockey sports drink bottle/ sauce squeeze bottle, kids nurofen, medication prescribed by my surgeon, tablet crusher, saline nose spray and aspirator, psyllium husk powder, about 3 more soft low profile pillows as i dont particularly like wedge pillows... i'll just stack them up, considering a humidifier but it's going to be super hot anyways so we'll have the air con on, the hospital provides the jaw bra and extra freezer packs, and they also provide those feeding syringes.

would anyone have any other reccomendations to the list?? :)))
