Anyone have to do any kind of bowel prep? I'm debating on doing an enema, I know things slow down after anesthesia, I thought I would feel better if I was as empty as possible.

I am just about jumping out of my skin with nerves, would love to fast forward 4 months!

Here's my list in addition to that:

toothbrush
deodorant
hair brush
laptop/tablet/phone
heating pad
toiletries
cell phone charger
Comfy sweat pants/house dresses
Soft bras
Big hoodie for the drive home
Chapstick
Extension cord for all your plug ins
a large pair of panties so nothing chafes incisions.
small travel pillow for ride home
slip on shoes
trash bags for car in case you throw up on way home
Putting it all in a small carry-on so husband just has one piece to keep with him while he waits...
FINGERS CROSSED FOR ALL OF US!

      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.
