I was given the socks with treads and just wore them for the 2 days there. I walked the halls with them on too. I don't have an iPad but did have my iphone. I was barely on it since I was pretty out of it the first day and only used it briefly the second day. Everyone is different so you may want to bring it just in case!! My nurses were always checking on me and doing vitals several times during the night. But I was too out of it for them to have bothered me. Good luck to you! Each day seems to be getting a little better!!

Okay, so I was given the non slip socks, but I found some nice fuzzy ones at Wal-Mart in a two pack for 3 dollars. It was worth it to me. As far as bringing a ipad or anything. That's your call I was sleeping most of the time I was there and didn't even think about ipads or anything. I had my cell phone and that was good enough. Your going to be tired from the drugs and they are going to have you walking. Best of luck! I would make sure you bring chapstick!! That was a must for me.

I used my ipad the whole time. Hardly got any sleep bc I was constantly in pain/ waiting for pain meds. I'd be good the first hour after my dose but then the next hour I was counting down. I set an alarm on my phone to help remind me to ask for my meds.

allons-y

At least your incision is above your belly button, they did mine inside! That's most painful incision so far

My most painful is the one where the drain was and the one below the drain site. The one below the drain site is where he took the stomach out, he said it will be more painful bc there are a few stitches closing some of the abdominal muscle.

How do I find our fbook group ?

      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.
