My surgery is just nine days away. I've been buying my Protein and Vitamins online. Besides my CPAP machine, I haven't really thought of what else to pack for the hospital. Suggestions? Also, there is going to be a birthday party at my house on the 19th, 3 days after my surgery. I'm trying to decide if I should just hide out in my bedroom or stay at a friends house that day. I have no idea how I'll be feeling 3 days post op??

Vitamin store and home to play with my doggies. and I have been up 14 hours so far.

Feeling great still after a busy day

Hi beach lover. We are traveling to Florida, my homeland, a month after my surgery. We are doing Disney World and Clearwater Beach. What they worry about is blood clots when flying. I have a shot for blood clots, so maybe ask for that to be on the safe side. Honestly, most people get their surgery done in Mexico and fly home 4 days later. So it is a hard decision!

If you are anything like me, you will be so pumped up before surgery you won't get a chance to be tired. Then you will have plenty of time to sleep post op.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
