Thank you so much, that's great advice!

My surgery is in just 2 days and I have a few items already that I believe I will need for after surgery so I can be prepared. I have miralax, Tums, chewable vitamins, broth, a small cup, isopure zero carb (40g protein clear liquid), unflavored protein powder, comfortable clothes. I was thinking of getting gauze today but idk if I will need it. Can you tell me what how you prepared, what you thought you needed but didn't? What you needed but didn't have? What you wish you had looking back? Thank you!

Thank you guys for answering. Ive never posted on here before it really does help having people going through or having gone through the same type of thing to talk to.

Thank you! It's tough but we will make it through! Who needs delicious hamburgers anyway?

It is near the end of my first day of the 14 day pre-op liquid diet for VSG. My boyfriend is making hamburgers and eating hummus and it sucks. I am continuously reminding myself that yes this will be a stuggle for 2 weeks but I re-remind myself that I have struggled for all of my adult life. 2 weeks is nothing on 7 years or on the rest of my life that I will live. Is there any advice or tips/tricks that will make this a bit easier? Anything is helpful, thanks!
