Hee, hee....Did I get your attention? Well, this is a legit post. I just wanted to know what everyone wore home from the hospital. My doc says "loose fitting clothes."

Well, if all of my stuff wasn't so darn tight, then maybe I wouldn't be needing this surgery so bad.

Seriously, sweatpants? Should I go out and get something that's really loose? Just wondering?

I'm gettting sooooo excited!;)

You really will want something loose and comfy around the belly.

I wore some pull on capri type sweats, t-shirt, slip on shoes, an old stretched out sport bra and my biggest undies. I was a fashion queen, I tell ya!!

Oh my gosh, I wish I would have thought of this during my original band surgery or my other 2 surgeries in Mexico, but I finally have the answer to this post: OVERALLS!

I wore overalls to my surgery last week. I brought a couple cute t-shirts and extra panties. Overalls are big and baggy and have easy access... the perfect outfit for surgery, and it's always fun looking like a farmer. Plus, you save all that "pants" space in your travel bag.

No bra with underwire ...
Make that no bra, period. I wore a muu-muu and flip-flops, but then I was in Mexico in August.

But if you have big boobies, wear a soft bra. I went to Mexico without a bra and had to put Kleenex under my sweaty boobs. And mine aren't even that big!

Pajamas! I didn't wear a bra either, but I was able to wear one the day after surgery to go walking around. But I wore pajamas that had pants and a little tanktop. They let me change back into them after surgery too.

I like the overalls idea tho...

Neither are mine, DeLarla . . . but I'm in my late 40s, if you catch my drift. I'd rather deal with the Kleenex than with all those hooks, and I was too sore to put on a stretchy sports bra with no closures. This may be too much information, Daisy, but at least you know a lot of us have given the subject some thought!

No bra here either. Although, I did put some gauze over the incision that was just under the left sister. ;) I wore a very loose fitting dress. There's no way I could handle any sort of waist band.

Okay, no giggles on this one......

But if you don't wear a bra, don't the "girls" kinda flop down on your tummy? I mean I don't want the boobies rubbing on an incision!

And I'm just not a "dress" kinda lady. If I wear some big sweatpants will the elastic in the waist rub in a place that's tender?

Am I overanalyzing this? (that's my specialty!)

Maybe I'm just so darned anxious that I'm obsessing over everything!

Yes, they will. Right on the left 'port' incision, which is the worst one. That's why I taped a guaze over it.

      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.
