Getting started on things I will need in a few weeks. Trying to get a bunch of different basics since I am not sure how tastes will change. Any suggestions from folks who have done this?

Hi girl we share the same surgery date 11-8 and I'm also looking for things to buy for post op. I was thinking SF Jello SF tapioca crystal light broth purée some bean Soup SF Popsicles Protein smoothies oatmeal or cream of wheat. I see the Nut on Monday to pick up my pre op shakes and I will ask her for some ideas and then post. Good luck and YAY FOR US!

All I can say is my taste buds did change. Things I really liked before the surgery made me nauseated. Don't buy too much because then you have alot left over.

Be careful about things with a strong smell as well. - during first month it would often make me gag.

Hi there girl. Have you started your pre op yet? I started on Tuesday and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm getting very nervous and excited. Let me know how you are doing

My surgery is on the 7th of November. Start preop on Friday. Tired of waiting. Tired of trying to lose weight. Anxious to start the rest of my life without this gut! *sigh*

Pre op officially starts Wednesday. I am almost ready to just go start now. Can't wait but am dreading the Pre op diet if that makes any sense. I am so looking forward to beginning yet getting more trepidatious. Oh the emotional roller coaster. How are you holding up my fellow Novemberites.?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
