I may have already responded to this once, but oh well! I recommend air freshener. That gas has to come out.

That's because the only plumbing they wanted to fix was yours not the sinks.😛

My surgery is Tuesday and I haven’t packed yet... 😳😳😂

I think I’m bringing: some comfy clothes, phone charger, phone, deodorant, dry Shampoo, a fresh nose ring to shove in, chapstick, and maybe a hair band?

I’m only going to be in for ~2 days. Also, I only live about 9ish blocks from the hospital so I’m sure my partner or mother can bring me other stuff if I feel like I will die without it.

Ahhh yes! I’m not worried about taking the ring out... but I am worried about putting it back in after! The last time I changed nose jewelry, it was a painful, frustrating, 3 hour ordeal.

I’m also nervous about the hole closing up, because getting it pierced was so stupid painful that I’m not sure I could put myself through it again if it closed up! 😂

@insta adventurer I gave your post a laughing emjoi for a good reason. You reminded me I'll have my earrings out. I am triple pierced to honor my 3 children( 2 still living) I normally don't remove them, have the child- locking backs on them so I don't have to remove them for sleep or even shampooing my hair. In case I forget, I had better put a medicine. bottle with a locking top to put them into. And like you, even though I have had them for years it can be a BEAR to put them back in. And if they bloat me. with fluids and gas my earlobes might pudgyfy. Ah Pfooey something else trivial for me to stew about! 😛smiles and❤Love to you!!

Ahhh yes! Hopefully my tiny nose doesn’t bloat. I plan on bringing a little mirror in and some pliers so I can get that sucker back in ASAP.

I don’t understand why they will let me keep my wedding band on, but not a nose ring? A bit ridiculous if you ask me!

      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.
