Bag packed for tomorrow! I'm a firm believer in less is more when going to the hospital.

I've got-Chapstick, toothbrush/paste, deodorant, brush, panties, iPhone/iPad/charger/ear buds, non-slip socks, my own pillow, my stuffed frog from my son (to keep me company if I get lonely). I'll wear what I show up in (yoga pants and a big baggy shirt). I don't take any meds, I'm not on a c-pap....

Anything important I missed???

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 241.6

Sounds just about right to me. Maybe some extra undies is something else just in case.

sounds like you got it all. They will give you non slip socks in the hospital. Hopefully you will get some rest tonight. Take whatever pain meds they offer. Walk as soon as you can. Good luck girlie!!

you may want to take sanitary pads or tampons also. Often women start right after surgery even if it isn't time for them to start.

      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.
