Those that had a hospital stay (mine will be 2 nights). Any tips or must haves I should pack in my overnight bag?

Doing better today, yesterday was rough. I don't do well with anasethsia so I knew going in recovery would suck. Gas pain was a killer. Feeling a little better today, up walking around.

Good luck Toler48!

Big day tomorrow! I have a 530am show at the hospital and I can't sleep. Anyone else's big day tomorrow?!?

Thanks everyone! Chapstick, I wouldn't have thought of that one.

Hi Sunnysun. I'm 37 with a 2 and 4 year old. I have been having very similar thoughts run through my head. I think that's to be expected. But I also have happy thoughts of being able to keep up with them, and liking the park instead of dreading it, being able to go on bike rides with them and my big one...take pictures with them, not having to crop myself out! You got this mama!

I did some research on this because I felt I was in the minority and wondered why my surgeons don't do pre-op liquid diet. What I found was there is no direct evidence that an ALL liquid diet 2 weeks before the surgery would yield any different outcome than say only doing it 3 days before the surgery. I also read that an all liquid diet does not yield any different results than a low carb diet a couple weeks before the surgery would. So take that for what it's worth, but my guess is if your surgeons are up to date on their research, they know what's up! ????

You look amazing! And even better, no pain and you feel great! I can't wait for my transformation! Thank you for sharing!

Sept 16 here!

Hi everyone. Surgery is scheduled for September 16 and we have a family vacation that's been planned for a long time starting October 8. In terms of pain and healing, I should be good to go by then, right? I know its going to be a rough time for me with transitioning to mushy from liquids only around that time.

???? thanks for the reply!! It's definitely a low key trip, nothing major planned activity wise, but keeping up with my 2 and 4 year old on the trip is another story!

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 16 but I was also told no restrictions right up until night before. I thought it was weird too, but I'll take it!
