chapstick...though my hospital supplied it.

I went in on Thursday and was out on Sunday, though I should have been out Saturday. They kept me an extra day because I bled out twice and had to have 2 pints of blood.

I packed all kinds of stuff I didnt need. Too drugged up to read and such... just mainly concentrated on walking. Had surgery on a tuesday morning and went home Wednesday around 3 pm

Mainly pack something comfy to go home in.

Good luck

I'm having surgery on Tuesday and they said i'll be out on Wed.

I'm packing clothes to come home in,chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, deodarant, phone, charger, and in the car i'm leaving a pillow for the ride home. They recommended a pillow for comfort from the seatbelt.

      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.
