I got my medical clearance forms, dress im wearing... And that's it. That's all I'm bringing. Am I missing anything anyone?? I'm so exited. Scared for the IV input becUse they're not numbing it first they're going to shove it in which terrifies me but yeah. Anything else I should bring or think of?

Good luck for tomorrow. Try not to worry and get a good night's rest beforehand. As for what to take with you, your own comfortable clothes/pyjamas would probably make you feel more relaxed (it did me!).

The IV, if it's by cannula, it's just a sharp scratch, I wouldn't worry!

@@elrios1 - I think in a way it is like a re-boot (or re-birthday) when you are post-op.

Good luck tomorrow!

My surgery was last Monday and I packed way more than I needed. I only used Chapstick and a pillow on the way home. The hospital provided everything else!

Let us know how it goes! See you on the other side!

      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.
