I need tips on what to pack for the hospital. I’m meeting with the surgeon for the last time Thursday so hopefully he’ll give me tips but I’d like to hear from those who have had the surgery. Have y’all heard about fart pads?! Are those necessary Lol 😆

Great! Thank y’all so much for the tips and information.

Hi! I just scheduled surgery For june 13th. I’m excited and nervous. What are you doing to prepare? I just cut out processed food and have stopped diet drinks but feel like I should be doing much more.

Im so sorry to hear this. Try not to turn to food during this difficult time. Definitely get in therapy if you aren’t already. Best

Definitely need to practice chewing

I LOVE journals so thats up my alley. Thankfully i own a restaurant so have TONS of portion cups😂

Im a week out and starting the liver shrinking diet today. I messed up and thought the 2 weeks prior included starches too… I’m hoping my liver has enough time to shrink

It sounds like you’re ahead of the game! I’m gonna call the nutritionist soon to gain some perspective

Where are you located? Im in Florida

Im so nervous that I’m going to go through this and it be for nothing! Meaning, I’ve tried so many things (like eating correctly, tracking food, exercising for a year, lost 40lbs then gained back) that im scared itll not work or ill mess it up some how! I believe ill do good because I’ll have the boost of surgery to help me once I start the exercising and tracking food again but just nervous. Especially since it’s coming out of pocket. Hopefully that’ll be a great motivator too!

Yah have you started any pre op stuff? ive just done small things like just stopped come zero staying away from processed food …. Like, as of today lol i have the 2 week pre-op stuff too of course
