Great idea!!!

Other items ppl have suggested and our Nutrionist during my pre-op 3 hours class today

--Chap stick or Vaseline for lips since we canny drink anything and mouth and lips will be dry.

--Comfy walking shoes as we will be required to walk 30 laps through day around the nurses station

-- Comfy stretch pants, or like pj pants or sweats pants

--comfy walking shoes for all the waking required.

Oh yes, gas x strips too, I have those already for when I return home. My nut., told us we cannot bring any meds into hospital but good to have ready at home.

The hospital will supply all meds including any to help for gas : )

      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.
