I'd say stock up on tylenol, small containers of a variety of Protein Shakes, (you never know what you'll actually be able to tolerate) lots of high Protein Soups to blend, and Water bottles. Don't forget to pack a comb in your overnight case.... I did... and I was wheeled out looking like medusa. ;-)

Good for you. No surgery date for me yet, figuring May/June. All I can say is stock up on the liquid vitamins and Protein Shakes.< /p>

Best of luck to you!

Out of everything I brought.. I used Chapstick, deoderant, toothbrush, hairbrush and phone charger. I brought a book but was flying too high on pain meds to be interested.

I slept 30 min the night before surgery and I wish I took some melatonin and slept more because the three days in the hospital they woke me up every 15-30 min. The day I left my fiancée was like do u want me to go pick this up then come get you and I was like noooo get me the hell out of here so I can sleep lol

I have my surgery on 4/3. I am anxious and excited..... Anyone else scheduled soon... Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi, I am scheduled on 5/1. I am so excited & can't wait to get the process started. I have a lot of low back pain, knee pain & also hip pain. For the last few years I have taken so many steroid injections & one day I just made up my mind to just take the step to get the weight off. My doctor said it is the best decision I have ever made. Wish I would have done it sooner. Getting ready for Pre Op testing & more education classes. Good luck! I am anxious to see how it goes for you!

      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.
