Here's a list someone put together: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/10081-the-official-what-you-will-need-for-your-gastric-sleeve-surgery-thread/ Right at the top of the first post there is a word document with a list.

(I'm thinking: chapstick, book, cell phone/charger, small pillow, a deck of cards, ear plugs, pad of paper, pencil/pens, maxi dress, case for glasses) I plan on wearing a pair of sandals that slip on....can wear them to/from the hospital and during my stay while walking around.

I don't know why but all week at work, I seem to get super tired. The pre-op diet isn't much fun right now. 5 more days till it's sleeve time. I did buy some realtree camo crocs to rock at the hospital. Oh yeah I'm that guy.

I'm in the Bronx. What prompted your revision? I responded to your PM.

      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.
