I took a toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and deodorant. I also took a robe. When I got up and walked they clamped off the IV and disconnected it. I didn't walk around with the pole. I only stayed 2 nights. They provide soap, washclothes and towels for washing off and non slip socks. Wore home same sweats and shirt I came with. No bra. I found it rubbed my upper incision. Simplistic procedure I've ever had. Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App

Stay off Facebook and stick to forums like this. No one can possibly understand unless they have experienced it. Hopefully you can find a buddy in your support group meetings and you can lean on each other. I don't talk about my journey on Facebook at all. The only people who know I have had the procedure are family. It's really no one else's business. It's personal. Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve on Dec 27. My stomach made weird noises at first after eating but it stopped. Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App

Those sugar free fruit Snacks you speak of are high in carbs! Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App

You should increase your Protein and lower your carbs. Keep your calories under 800. You have to write down everything you put in your stomach and the Cal, carb and protein values. You'll be surprised how quickly those carbs add up. Sent from my XT1096 using the BariatricPal App
