Hello All,

I was just wondering what are somethings I should pack for my surgery?

I'm traveling from Alaska to Washington.

Thanks in advance

A slipper to do your walking in the hospital and comfortable clothes to go home.

I’ve seen a lot of people mention chap stick. Slippers, gas X, sugar free throat spray. Dry mouth spray.

yeah most hospital have soap, towels, toothbrush, toothpaste, and comb in there arsenal. Nurses don't like you taking stuff without them knowing even gas x and they have stuff for dry mouth at the hospital. I worked in a surgical unit and they pretty much gonna have what you need except slippers but they will have a lots of socks...lol

Take a heating pad!! You will want it right after surgery. I was just sleeved on the 10th and it's one of the only things making me feel better. Heating pad, chapstick, slippers and a bathrobe to cover your butt when you walk around and of course clean clothes that are easy to put on to go home in. Good luck!

      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.
