Oh I forgot to mention those! I do have several kinds of Bone Broth, lots of Crystal Lite and Powerade Zero. I have some sugar-free popsicles too, but will probably need more by then.

Thanks!!

I signed my consent forms yesterday and the NP and surgeon sent in prescriptions to have on hand for after surgery.
I've ordered several different sampler packs of Protein supplements to get me started after surgery. I got the large sampler pack from here, a variety pack of Iso100 drinks, and a sample pack from Unjury. I also have a list of stuff to get at Walmart to have on hand, such as juven powder, mucinex, allergy medication for post-nasal drip, stool softener/laxative.. etc.
I'm about to make a list of things I should do before surgery, too. Any other ideas or things I'm missing?? 11 days to go!

What sf pops are you on? I've been on a serious hunt for sugar-free pops. I have some from the brand Popsicle. And a few from Outshine.....but technically the Outshine ones I have are just a 'no sugar added' version that technically isn't entirely sugar free but the flavors close (like 1g-2g per popsicle depending on the flavor).

Many of the Vlogs I have watched on YouTube said to bring LIP BALM! I have some ready! LOL!

I would also add a variety of clear liquid options: herbal teas, sugar-free popsicles, Water flavorings like Crystal Light. The biggest struggle for most people after surgery is getting their fluids in (with or without protein) and you want to have lots of options (and temperature choices) available.
Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

I have noticed everyone mentions that too! and a phone charger, heating pad, extension cord. Those sound pretty handy based on my experience sitting with others in hospital.

that's almost the same as our dynamic lol! he's so excited lately because he's been working on bulking up a little lifting weights and up-ing his caloric intake with Protein Shakes and he's gained up to about 130.
I may be oblivious but I haven't noticed any blatant flirting with me right there. I watched him from our vehicle many times checking out at CVS and noticed the checkout girl just beaming every time he came up but that didn't bother me much after I went in with him once. She was just a kid with a little crush. I don't worry about him anyways!
HE notices people looking at my butt or boobs though, like all the time. and I'm TOTALLY oblivious those times usually!

I feel the same way. I'm 324 lbs (16 pounds so far on diet before surgery!) And my husband is 122lbs soaking wet. I've seen people laugh at us together. Or flirt shamelessly with him in front of me because I'm fat and not competition for his affection. It was really bad when we first started dating. It's not as bad now 7 years later. I look forward to not feeling like clumsy elephant walking next to a clumsy giraffe lol.

Don’t stop the weights! You can talk to your DR, a personal trainer or do some research, but the muscle you build will help increase your metabolism. That will help you more in the long run. I always gain a few pounds when I first start exercising. It will even out. It will be ok. You are doing great!

mine is 70. but I haven't had surgery yet so I can't tell you about my success yet! Previously I briefly lost down to 220 and with my body shape and bone structure I was hella cute and pretty happy with that, so my goal for surgery is to get to 200 and reassess. BMI be damned after all that work!

I'm pretty sure your cup size absolutely will change. I am pre-op, but several years ago I lost about 80 lbs (briefly) on my own and I went down several cup sizes. I'm also short and 'well-endowed' (5'1" DDD or more currently, depending on manufacturer/brand). When I lost that weight before I got down to just one D and a much smaller band. That was only about half the weight I needed to lose, too! They had started looking kinda like chicken skin bags if they weren't in a bra. I don't care though, I'd much rather get off my meds and be healthy and wear special garments until I can get skin removed later on. 💜 good luck to you!

I feel you on these, especially the husband thing. My husband has the total opposite problem that I have in that he is underweight (at times to the point family tease him about being a crackhead) so I totally get it - walking with him makes me feel like we're a sideshow or something. I don't go to his work gatherings either, and they do cool stuff sometimes like bowling and adult go-karting!

I am so excited for all of us it is getting SOOOO close! Hopefully this time next year we are all half the people we are today!

Congratulations to everyone having surgery in July!!

It is going to be the start to our long term success.

Surgery twins!

oh right I think I forgot to say I'm July 23! Time is flying by.

True, I was constipated often before.. I do prefer this. Yes a whole month. It's weird how much programs vary.
