I brought my ipod, my cell phone, my own pajamas, and my own socks/underwear. I'd had general before and then couldn't sleep for a day afterwards so I brought some books too just in case, but the pain medicine in the pain pump knocked me out. You should bring something to take your anger out on too because they will bug you to death all day and night long!

Good luck with your surgery Hannah!

I took all of the normals, like everyone has suggested. My NUMBER ONE, SO GLAD I HAD ITEM, was a child's sippy cup. Before surgery I drank a lot of Fluid at one time, and after surgery you have to learn to take small sips. It took one time of forgetting while I was in the hospital that I changed to the sippy cup. I used this for about a week to help me learn to take small sips. I actually found a cup at Walmart in the baby section made by playtex that looked like a small travel coffee mug, not so babyish :lol:. This was my lifesaver item.

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.
