I attended my pre-op nutritional/surgical orientation today. I'm scared to death! I was doing fine up until now. There's so much to remember, keeping supplements straight. Any post op sleevers have any requests? Does it get easier?

I just made a list of the things I needed to do post op. One week post op and everything is part of the daily routine.

Best of luck!

Yes, it gets better and you get used to it I was nervous too about remembering everything and I made note cards but I rarely use them. My diet stages go 2 weeks at a time so it's easy to get used to those. My supplements are easy too. My Lexapro, Prevacid and Multivitamin. In one week I will add my B Complex and Calcium. That's it.

You will get used to it. The most important thing is to drink, drink, drink.

I ordered all of my pills online, and I keep them all in a little box next to my laptop where I can see them. That way I remember to take them

Yes it gets easier.

My program gave us binders with the entire process start to 1 year out from pre to post-op. It had sample menus, recipes, Vitamin, supplement and Protein shake.powder recommendations. It became my bible of sorts. If your program doesn't provide them, go to the dollar store and buy a binder and start your own. When you go to appointments like this, take notes and add them to your binder. Most importantly if you have questions do not hesitate to call your nutritionist or program coordinator and ask until you understand.
