Good morning...what are products that you packed in ur suitcase or what did u really needed to take but didnt figure it out until after.

There are loads of threads here about this. Someone even did up a Word doc but I couldn't find it.

I hope this helps: http://www.verticals...app=forums&st=0

I am packing LIGHT. The last thing you want to be doing is hauling a bunch of crap you didn't need back home on the airplane (sounds exhausting doesn't it?)

I am bringing traveling clothes, jammies, iPad, the typical items on the list I am inserting to share (if I can get the attachment to work!!), a bathing suit and shorts to soak in the sunshine by the pool my last full day there and reading material

I did not pack light and was glad I had my creature comforts.

If your bringing a lap top or tablet, an extension cord with multiple plug ins was really helpful. Heating pad for upper back/shoulder pain from the gas pain. Gas X strips. Bouillon cubes (for broth),extra panties/panty liners, a pair of loose shorts to put on under your hospital gown (so you can walk the halls without showing your behind). Some easy slip on shoes or slippers because bending over hurts your tummy. Hope this helps.

      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.
