How Funny, I have a small mouth too. My dentist comments on it everytime I'm there lol My throat was just dry after surgery and I just ate the ice chips with no problem. I would also get some Gas-X strips and remember to walk walk walk after surgery. I walked every hour. The strips melt in your mouth...better than tums because of the restriction IMO.
Bring a pillow for the ride home...for the bumps. You will feel like the car hit every one on purpose...lol
I didn't do the baby food, but the plastic baby food container (square) are great for portions when you get on mushies and solids. I have a daycare and save the ones from the 8 month old I have right now. They are wonderful.
You look like you are pretty well prepared. Your date is the 24th right?
Keep me posted...
You talked about a support group in our area...that would be wonderful. If we can't get enough, I thinkit would be great to carpool to the meetings in TC. It would save on gas for all of us. My cousin would like to go too. She's hoping she hears form Angie this week. What town do you live in? I'm in Harbor Springs...
Keep me posted!
Maybe we can do the May meeting if you are up to it by then.
1 week out!!!
Hi Brenda, I had my last appt with Dr. Nizzy & MK, and the pre-reg at the hospital yesterday. Everyone has been great. The nurse at the pre-reg told me that she keeps seeing people come through for LBS and is wondering about herself getting it. The anesthesiologist (sp?) said to me: "You have a small mouth. Has your dentist told you that before?" LOL!! Yes, its hard to believe, but I have been told that! I hope my throat doesnt get too beat up!! How was yours afterwards?
I've bought a few jars of babyfood...mostly to reuse the jars for portions of homemade stuff, but I'll eat it too. I have cream soups, "Better Than Broth", LF yogurt, Wal Mart brand crystal light (1/3 price!!), egg beaters, SF jello, SF pudding, SF popsickles, LF cottage cheese, NS added frozen fruit.
I also have a heating pad, very large band aids, tums, tylenol, pill crusher, hand-held mixer and a couple extra pair of big sweat pants. (I have chapstick in my purse.)
