Don't over pack for the hospital! You change as soon as you get there so wear home what you wear to the hospital. Tooth brush and tooth paste already provided for me and in my room. The hospital that I was at also provided me with socks to go with hospital gown so I didn't need slippers. I stayed one night I showered once I got home the next day. I did freshen up with soap and wash clothes provided. So all I really needed was chap stick, brush, hair band, cell phone and charger.

That's great! I was up walking same day as f surgery as well but I did have quite a bit of pain. I think most of mine was from the hernia repair. Nothing that was not bearable though.

Good luck Njgal! It will all be worth it.

How about you? Are you getting all your liquids and protein in?

I am really having to work at it to get my liquid and proteins in. I don't think I am quite making it but close. I am feeling better everyday. I think having the hernia repair and gallbladder removal made my pain little worse, but again if I had to do it again I would!!

4 days post surgery and no regrets! It is kind of hard for me to get all my liquids in. I feel great- just still really sore.

Yes. Surgery was this past Thursday and it was rough that day and over night. But I'm good now.

Sleeved, gallbladder taken out and hernia repair! Home from hospital last night.

2 Days!

Any advice on what I should bring with me that maybe I haven't thought of?

Day 9 of pre-op diet. Day 2 of liquid only and I am struggling! Last week with 1 protein meal was bearable but liquid only is hard!

Day 5 of pre Op diet with no cheating! I can do this!

I am not allowed any sugar on my 2 week pre op diet. No fruit!

I am also using the Bariatrics shakes but I cant use milk at all.

I'm trying! But it is hard! Gonna try chicken broth today.

2 weeks pre op
