My surgery is 8 am tomorrow morning. I'm packing my hospital bag now, any suggestions on items to pack. So far I have

Comfy spandex and shirt

Tooth paste and tooth brush

Undies, lol

Laptop & extension cord $ cell phone charger

Lip balm

Gas X strips

And 2 cups of jitters and a half a cup of anxiety, lol

Am I missing anything?

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Remember after the surgery to Walk, Walk, Walk, it helps to alleviate the gas pains. Also make sure they install a trapeze bar above your hospital bed to that you can get up with less pain, so that you can Walk, Walk, Walk.

You forgot a long charger or extension cord. I’ve been to many hospitals to visit others and that short charger was such a pain. I bought a long one for my surgery on Thursday.

Best of luck. Please try to post tomorrow. I’d love to hear how it went.

Godspeed and a quick recovery!

      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.
