nesa83 89 Posted December 16, 2013 Ok so at my doctors office they told me just to take slippers some comfortable clothes to wear while I'm there and to wear when I get out. I'm planning on taking my phone charger and my nook. Any other suggestions on what to take with me? Also what should I have at home when I get back home? I have my prescriptions already and my Protein to make shakes. My doctor said on my third day I could have any Soups just to strain them or blend them. Were y'all told the same thing? Any suggestions on what soups I could buy that have a decent taste? I know how to make soups but I don't want to cook my first days at home I don't know how I'm going to feel, I hope great =).

ribearty 544 Posted December 16, 2013 Here is a thread that lists several things you might need. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/181994-the-official-what-you-will-need-for-your-gastric-sleeve-surgery-thread/ One thing I found very helpful was a lip balm. I had to wait 24 hours after surgery before I was given anything to drink. This was due to having my leak test the next day after surgery. I blended my Soups when I was able to have them. It depends on what you like. I was fortunate my tastes did not change, but have seen others post that things they liked pre-surgery they no longer liked how they taste. Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Memily 86 Posted December 16, 2013 Lip balm and lotion, hospital air seems to dry me out. After surgery I enjoyed split pea Soup blended but that was my preference. I personally took advantage of my time in the hospital and slept for most of the time in there. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
