For some reason I didn't think to take my own Shampoo, and theirs was awful. So I recommend your own shampoo also,

@ GinaCampbell

You are a day to late to be adding your thoughts to what I said.... It seem to me that you are trying to be the bariatrics cop on what I should and shouldn't say...

I am not a child I am a grown women I don't have to tolerate you in my life. Save your comments s for some one that cares... If you don't like what I posted then you don't have to comment...

I have to ask you these questions is you some kind of cyber bully ? Do you live off making drama? When you was younger was you the kind of person that everyone avoided ?

You must be very longly in your life, I can't make you happy, if you woke up and you are depressed and you are having a bad morning. I don't have anything to do with that.

Stop trying to be so controlling over my opinion, stop been negative Nancy.

If you don't want thoughts and opinions, don't post on public forums. I will post where I like, when I like.

You posted first, inviting opinion. Exactly why are you posting if you don't want people to support you?

Everyone, including myself, have only simply tried to help you.

As for the rest of the nastiness you spat in my direction, I shall simply ignore it and put it down to the stress of your pre op diet and upcoming surgery.

I know how hard it is to stick to a liquid diet, you must be having an effect on your emotions.

GinaCampbell, she came out blasting everyone who tried to give her advice. Why is she on thjs site which is very public, asking for advice and when people tried to give it to her, she reaponded very badly. There's people who want to get in this group, but it says full. She can just jump out and allow someone who wants advice to be in this group

I hope that you all haven't faced 1/2 of the drama that I have faced with this group of people.... I wish you all the best of luck on your journey of been better not bitter you.

And for me, I will continue to post what I want to post, I will continue to be happy inside and out, I will no longer entertain you self centers people...

Thanks to everyone that have been positive to things that I post, it was so much that someone giving constructive criticism it's the collected criticism...

On the note I have support around me 24-7. Maybe you'll life isn't felled with joy but mines is.

If your life is all that then why are you on this site? Ive never ever seen someone on a support group site blast everyone on there for trying to give advice or telling what their experience was. This is just cra cra crazy

You do realize that when you post on here you are essentially asking for thoughts and feedback, right?

If you don't want thoughts and feedback, then post the picture on Pinterest.

NO ONE was even remotely trying to be offensive or insensitive to you. At all.

Lounge wear/pajamas for walking!! Clean underwear. Seriously, I packed everything, and then some!! I didn't use any of it. I cared about clean underwear and clothing, some body spray....and was consumed about getting fluids in!! Other than that, I slept!!

I just thought of one other thing. For ladies that still menstruate, you may want to bring some of your own pads, whether you expect Aunt Flo or not. Aunt Flo likes to come when you are under stress, and hospital pads feel like diapers.

Ha ha ???????????? yes hospital pads do feel like diapers. Thanks for that heads up as well. I hope I don't sound to graphic but I am irregular and I haven't had a menstrual since June so I know if I don't show up with any pads that will be a disaster lol

Yay I rather be safe then sorry... I don't think I will be waring the same thing home; due to the fact that what I am waring to the hospital is tight fit-it pants and what I am waring home that outfit is much looser... I don't want to irritate my incision.

My date is the 16th, so wish me luck and blessing

Good luck! My surgery is also on the 17th!! I'm having the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. I can't believe it's finally happening. So excited & feeling a little uncertain about the food journey. I've read about so many problems that others have had & it's just a little scary, but I'm in it til the end!! Hope things go well for you!!

I wasn't due for another week, and she showed up shortly after I got up to my room after surgery. I've been irregular all my life, but I could always count on my period starting if I had something important going on (first day of school, etc). I loved the pill because I was in control for once!

Yep that sounds like me she only shows up when you have important thing's going on. Lol. I have my surgery set for September 14. Can you tell me what to expect when I arrive at the hospital the day of surgery, like what is done before surgery and said I guess I'm just nervous you know?

Well, it depends on my hospital. At mine, I was brought back to the pre-op area then ushered into a locker room. I was given a gown, slipper-socks, a cup to pee in, and a toothbrush/toothpaste. I then went into a bathroom area, placed all my clothes and such into a bag. Peed in the cup for the pregnancy test, and brushed my teeth (good oral hygiene reduces infections with surgeries in the GI tract). My clothes bag then went into a locker, and I was escorted to a bed in pre-op.

They started my IV, had me rinse my mouth with special mouthwash, and applied an anti-nausea patch. (My patch kept coming off, so we had to tape it on!). I was also given an injecting of something, I think it was to prevent clots. They also drew some blood for pre-op labs. Then my family came back. They could have come back before the IV, but my husband hates needles. The anaestheologist, OR nurse and surgeon all came and talked to me.

When it was time to do the surgery, I was wheeled into the OR. I slid over onto the operating table, and that's the last thing I remember before waking up in post-op. I was tired and confused after, but no pain. Shortly after I was wheeled up to my room.

      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.
