I have extra panties, grippy socks, my robe, deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, toothbrush and paste, hair ties, brush, gas-ex strips, phone and charger and that's about it. I am wearing the clothes that I wear there home. Oh and a pillow with a hot pink pillow case so I know it's mine.

Here's what I took and actually used:

Toiletries (toothbrush, paste, deodorant, powder, BRUSH, shampoo/conditioner). My husband had to buy me a brush in the gift shop because I forgot mine!

My own t-shirt and pajama pants

My own pillow with colorful pillowcase (so I knew it was mine)

Cell phone/charger (used only to call my kids each night)

Slippers

Things I took and didn't use:

Heating pad

Gas-X strips (doctor wouldn't allow)

iPad

Kindle- I don't know if it was just because I was pretty sick right after surgery and spent most of my time dozing but I didn't need anything to pass the time.

Make sure you if you still have a menstrual cycle to take feminine products! The surgery can throw your cycle off :/

Hey! I had the gastric sleeve Jan 15th, and as of today I haven't feel nauseas, right now I'm having 4oz Protein Shake and its ok. What I'm a bit worried is that since yesterday I've been having diarrhea, not much but my instentines have been making weird noises.

Has this happened to any of you post-op?

My doctor said that I was only going to stay for a night, but I prepared myself for three nights.

-a couple of undies, like 5

-toothbrush, toothpaste, slippers, lotion, soap, hairbrush

- three pjs

- iPad (didn't use at all cuz the little time I was with my eyes opened I used my cellphone to update my family)

- towel, a big one and two small, with my name sewed, just in case.

I only stayed a night so 80% of what I had in that bag I didn't use

I am all packed and ready to fly away first thing in the morning! Along with most of above mentioned items I am also bringing an audio book for all the walking I am told I will be doing. I am expected to stay in hospital 3-5 days.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
