Slippers Toothbrush Toothpaste Shower Gel perfume Dry Mouth Spray iPhone w/Charger Meds Dressing Gown HairBrush Hair products socks sponge big towel peppermint tea ( for wind pain ) water bottle ( easier to drink out of ) They gave me cups cos they wanted to measure how much to drink also have to take my cpap body cream wet wipes (especially useful, as they wouldn't let me shower, so used these first on the smelly bits and then wiped with a sponge) Dry shampoo loose trousers loose t-shirts earplugs headphones tissues squash laptop tummy pillow (left this in the car) dress Nintendo DS (my daughter was supposed to leave this with me as she was using it while she was waiting it at the hospital.

Fantastic thread! Just one question and please forgive me if i'm being dense but what is dry mouth spray and where can I get it? I'm leaving this very late as the case is packed for the op on Monday but I might manage it.

Have done a shop today for things for my bag. Have new pjs and a nightdress - have bought lip balm, post op vitamins, peppermint tea and constipation tablets, and have just ordered some protein powder. I'm getting there.

[karen 43]

I might stick with the mouth wash, I've already got some of that, thanks for the info.

Could you make your own dry mouth spray by spraying just normal water?

I really liked the dry mouth spraw and found it really useful after meals as well as you can't drink straight away.

Maybe.

And it may be better as the spray I have from boots shoots out in a straight line and not a spray. Lol. Thought I had a duff spray bottle. But I brought three and all shoot out the same. That's what put me off using it. And I didn't need it in the end.

I had that too. My nightdresses got covered in the backlash. I used mine, but only pre-op when I was waiting with nothing to drink and on the first day post op when you're so dry. It lasts for ages though. It's so cheap, I'd get it just in case.

I used my dry mouth spray a fair few times the first week post op as it kept my mouth feeling fresh as with the reduced intake my mouth often felt like a badgers backside

And no amount of cleaning your teeth gets rid of it. A small price to pay for the massive weight loss though.

Wlsurgery should be on commission.ive now gone & bought mouth spray from boots,as it sounds such a good idea.
