You are so right, the anticipation is indeed the worst! If you can stick to the liquid pre-op, I have no doubt you will be able to kill the post op. Once you start getting fills, you will go to town!

Kick butt, Preppy!! Ha!

Just for good measure, stock up on some things for after the surgery: Gas-X or Phillips Milk of Magnesia, Jello, Freezer Pops, Whipped Cream (Yummy by itself) Ensure or protein powder and milk. Clear soups and broth.

And: Put toilet paper in reach, even some extra for refills.

Have several small pillows for use over the port area when getting up and down from chairs and couch. Love the recliner if you have one.

Keep all medicines in a lower cabinet or shelf so you don't have to stretch for them for at least the first week.

Buy a body pillow if you don't have one for a really good nights sleep.

Put all your panty's and gowns in a top drawer so you don't have to bend down for a few days.

Baby yourself for a few days and don't try to be superwoman and strain or tear the stitches that hold the port in place. It will be sore for about a week until the stitches heal.

God Bless~So happy for you to be on the journey to THIN!

Thank you SOOO much for that advice!! I will definitely take any and all I get! Some of those things I never would have thought of. Great ideas!
