What to have on hand...

Please be prepared
Do not wait until the last minute
​
Make sure you try the drinks
ahead of time for taste. If it tastes bad before the surgery it will taste bad after the surgery.
Expect to loose 5 to 10 pounds.
​
The hardest part the first 3 to 5 days will be keeping the mouth clean and getting fluids in.  You will need a syringe with some force to clean the mouth and a squeeze bottle (baster) to get the food in.
