Yes! The gas pains. They're the worst! I'm on my way for a walk now. Lol Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So, my surgery is this Tuesday the 24th of May. Just curious if I'm prepared or not. This is what I have besides a change of clothes and my cell phone... 1. Chapstick 2. A Blanket 3. Toothbrush 4. Toothpaste 5. Mouthwash 6. Body wash 7. My tablet 8. Chargers 9. hair brush 10. Deodorant 11. Wash rag 12. Slippers 13. Gas X Strips 14. Socks 15. Q-Tips 16. Lotion I don't normally wear makeup, so that isn't on my list. So this is what I have in my bag as of now. I don't plan on washing my hair at the hospital because it's soooo long and I just want it out of my way at all times during recovery. Don't worry, I'm washing it the morning of. If there is anything I am missing please let me know. I hope I have everything down. I've waited 5 months for this and it's finally here.

So I had surgery yesterday. Everything went well. I just wanted to update what I used from my bag. I'll be discharged at 6pm. I forgot my blanket, lotion and hair brush, but I definitely would have used them. I didn't use my socks because my slippers were so warm. I never got around to the Q-Tips. Other than that, I used everything else. BTW. I hospital with Kaiser Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So I ordered beef broth. And it stinked up my room so good! My surgeon just happened to walk in. Before opening my curtain he said "It smells like McDonald's in here!" I started laughing and said, "Noooo! It's just a little beef broth" he thought someone was in here torturing me. To be honest, I don't have much of an appetite. I just wanted something warm on my throat that is still scratchy from the breathing tube. I'll be discharged at 6pm today. He said I made surgery very easy for him and he thanked me. My surgery weight was 230. I'm too scared to weigh myself today. Where is everyone? I can't be the only one who is excited.. We're on our way to skinny-ness!! lol I've also been walking 10 minutes every hour.

Good morning!!! I'm glad you will be able to stay one more night. @@Peach55 Nothing like a nurse's help. Remember not to drink so fast. Take tiny sips.. i haven't thrown up at all because the tiny "infant" sips. My hope is, my doctor tells me to stay one more night as well.. I haven't really gotten liquids in. I think yesterday, at most, I drank 8 oz. This includes a few small spoons of Jello. I wonder if I can request for my incisions to be cleaned and re-bandaged. I'll ask later. Maybe everyone else is in too much pain to follow-up. Awww.. i how you all are doing well. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I did the same thing with the morphine... I keep waking up too.. I'm not used to gas pain. It really sucks. Go around and walk, they say... but it doesn't help. Sigh.. i walked for 15 mins and nothing. Other than that, i feel great. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

So, my tiny bit of gas was so bad that I decided to take a walk against the nurses advice. She was very surprised how well it went. I managed to burp a little but I still have a little gas again. I'm scared it's going to get bad like earlier. I took a 2 hour nap and I feel better. So I'm finally going to try to eat. I've only been having ice chips. Right now I have a male nurse. He just got here, so I'm not as comfortable as before. But all in all... i feel fantastic. I haven't used morphine at all. My tap is still new. How is everyone else doing?! Oh and I haven't thrown up..... YET!

I'm out. Surgery went well! I'm not in any pain except a tiny bit of gas pain but nothing too bad. The nurses are saying I'm a very easy patient. I haven't used my morphine at all. The nurse pressed it when she woke me up but after that, nothing. I hope it went this easy for everyone! Let me know! I'm so happy to be sitting on the losers bench! Who else is with me?!

I just got to the hospital. . NOW i have butterflies in my stomach!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Surgery day!!! Getting ready! I think I'm all set Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yes I slept pretty good too.. I was surprised when I woke up. I'm glad someone is near my time... it's 10 minutes to 6am... I'm straightening my hair so it's not wild when I'm out of it. Lol Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Did I also mention I live 10 minutes away from the hospital?? I think because I'm in Los Angeles, I'll be the last one getting surgery. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Wow... everyone is heading out and I just woke up trying to get back to sleep.. lol have a safe one, my dears!!???? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm going to try and get some sleep for tomorrow's big day! I hope you all can get a little sleep. Goodnight.. if I wake up, I'll come here to vent. Lol

I am SO glad to read this! I was worried.. lol... I still have 2 hours to go. I need to wash my hair tonight. And double check my bag so I can try to sleep in... so much to do and I'm sitting on the couch watching my sister eat dinner.. hahahahaha Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Yey @@ChooChi73 I'm glad you're feeling okay. Congrats to you too. @@yescres07 Doesn't it suck though? Ugh. I was scared that maybe my surgeon would postpone my surgery. But that sounds silly. It's a natural thing. I'm going to try to sleep early because I know I'll wake up at 4am as I have been everyday for the passed 2 weeks. Maybe 830pm Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

It sure is. I'm usually irregular, but they said I had to be on birth control so I got the Mirena. I guess it's going to come on time. ???? Terrible... just terrible

???? I've been having cramps all day. It would suck for me if AF came tomorrow. Sigh.. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
