Hope you have fun! And enjoy you look very good! -
I hardly used anything I took... only used Towel, wet wipes, toothbrush paste, extra clothes, hair pin, brush, phone charger and some noise cancellation beats. The rest it was provided. Even the underwear ( I prefer the one they have very comfortable) I took some either way.

Stuck...aren’t you in liquid diet? [emoji848] and after liquid they gave us 3-4 weeks of purée .. so nothing gets stuck or hurts your new stomach .. .. what are you eating that you feel stuck? Tips my first tip is your Protein intake and Water .. if you feel like it’s too heavy add water. I couldn’t swallow my pills .. so I kept drinking Centrum liquid Multivitamin. Biotin ( mandatory) my hair is falling but not as bad as I have heard. I did cut it tho. And pictures take picture .. for your before.. cuz I feel like I havent loose anything .. but when I see my old pics after surgery from month month .. I know that there is some changes. And lots of water. ( a friend of mine got so dehydrated that she lost conscious and hurt herself, she had VSG) drink even when you don’t even want to About drinking water .. I just learned to not gulp anymore lol .. when I feel like a burp is about to happen I stop.. rest and keep drinking. -

3 days post op seeking reassurance
Luisajfc replied to Kels7887's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Ah yes I had 7 too.. and keeping up with my pain meds and walking to get the air out we’re my best friend. I won’t lie and tell you that it went away quick cuz to me it took me awhile with muscle pain... but it does get easier and it does goes away.. you learn what works and how to eat and drink . Btw... protein gives really bad breath I used to brush after every drink. -
Yay! Bestest of luck and fast healing!

[emoji38][emoji8] thank you! Comments like yours give us beginners more motivation . Thanks a lot ! Wishing the best! Thank you! And no it isn’t because at first you feel kinda painful to eat or drink, but once you learn where your limit is at .. no biggie... now I really had a hard time drinking water cuz I love water, so I gulp on it ( bad mistake) started burping and I felt like I was drowning .. now I now how to “drink” water ( took me like 2 months or more lol ) . Any question you need to ask.. I’m always welcome to give my share. -
Ok.. since I had my surgery Nov 28 I can’t tolerate warm or room temperature water .. ok no problem I start burping like crazy and not lil burps. Ok .. so I only drink freezing cold water .. BUT THIS IS THE WEIRD THING... when I shower in warm/kinda leaning to more hot than cold.. I start burping till I’m done showering. Isn’t this crazy? I understand drinking it .. but showering with it too? Has anyone gone through this .. or I’m just special? 🤨🤷🏽♀️
