I too am a band to rny revision. I don't have a surgery date yet but hopefully soon! I think I'll take my pillow, cell and charger, kindle (just incase) Chapstick seems to be something I see ppl on here say to take all the time, socks with grippers or slide on house shoes for walking in hospital, possibly a pedometer just to track my movements for myself and, for me, pictures of my baby girl and husband. Ill send some prayers out for you! Looking forward to hearing about ur surgery, recovery and seeing u on the losers bench! Peace.

Drink lots of Water and pick up stool softeners. One of the hardest things to do after was "use it". Lol. Best wishes!

I just had my revision on 5/2/2013! So far so good. I was in the hospital from 5/2-5/5. I slept thru most of my stay because of the pain meds! Definitely take some chap stick, deodorant, powder if you use it. WARM SOCKS! Pack lightly you won't need much! Be prepared to walk the first night of surgery. Good Luck

      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.
