So far I have my broth and Soup for post op and that's it. I still need to get my chewable Vitamins, gas strips, and a sleep bra (just in case my incisions are too close to my underwire). Oh, I already have a heating pad and I know what I'm going to wear home from the hospital :biggrin:

What about everyone else? What's on your shopping list?

I got my items. Dont forget the liquid Tylenol, icypops (for the pills you have to crush), 100% juices, and lip balm. I am taking a comfy robe and slippers to the hospital as we will be walking alot and I dont want to MOON anyone!! I also am looking into purchasing a wedge for my bed as it is hard to get in and out after surgery. Good Luck shopping!

it's funny I brought so much stuff to the hospital and did not touch a thing I did not get out of that bed except for the twice they made me pee I was so out of it. But let me tell you it's all so worth it I'm 11 days out and 16 pounds lighter thank you god!

I bought all the bowell prep my surgeon wants me to do next sunday, the chewable vitamins, Calcium, broth, and whey Protein. I keep looking for better prices on the gas strips. 7.99 for 30 at Rite Aid seems high. I have to wait on the Celebrex and an anti nausea suppository from the drug store. They have to order it. I have plenty of books to read when I get home. The only thing I'm taking to the hospital is slippers, a book, and clothes to go home.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
