Pre-Op Shopping List

Very last minute, but about to do my pre-op shopping. Any suggestions on what I missing are very welcome, so far this is my list:

1 v-pillow from argos
1 neck pillow
Laxatives (in case constipated after general anesthetics)
Order macom bra online (using ‘mybreast’ code for a discount)
M&S sports bra high impact, front zip
PJ’s that are front fasten
Hot water bottle (in case I get muscle soreness)
Arnica tablets 30c

Weekly food shopping: based on the idea that I will need plenty of protein as I am going under the muscle, healthy fats to help the absorption of protein, lots of fiber in the form of fruits and vegetables and not too much carbs as I will be resting most of the time

Useful list thanks lol. Are you a day case? If so still take over night stuff just incase, baby wipes will be use full for a quick freshen up. Bio oil too for when we are allowed use it to prevent stretch marks. I think we have it covered. How much was your v pillow? as I’m nipping out to get one too.

Hi Mary.. Grab some Bio oil and some palmers cocoa butter stretch mark cream xxx

Paracetamols – sounds daft but I assumed you’d get given some but you just get codein and anti bionics .. Think it’s the codein that gives you funny tummy! X good luck! Oh and throat sweets for after

Dry shampoo 🙂

I got a memory foam V pillow for about £5 on ebay – much cheaper than argos and it’s good quality! 🙂
Starting to prep my stuff already! Only about 2 months to go until I’d like to have the op done. I figure if I get things early I won’t panic closer to the time!
