hey there, im not post op but my date is this friday! i basically made sure i have my garments, some bed pads for leakage, my perscriptions, some gold bond lotion for itching, some benedryl gel for itching, stool softner, flushable wipes and thats about it. as far as groceries u can get those closer to the time. i hear water, gatorade, protein shakes, soup. light things because u don't have much of an appetite(at least thats what i heard)
