I travel frequently so I am set for the hospital. I did buy baby spoons (Amazon 12 "Munchkins" for $9.99), little OXO 2 oz containers ( portion control- also from Amazon), strainers for straining canned Soup for broth, post surgery food, my Vitamins should be here today.

Last pre-op surgeon visit was yesterday and have the barium swallow this morning, then all set! I am ready. The Protein diet has not been so bad although the whey smell makes me ill.

I am scheduled for 8 am on the 2nd, which is good, I won't have to sit around all morning.

Best wishes to all as we step forward to a healthier life! :-)

I'm scheduled for March 1st. Only have a 3-day liquid diet. Went shopping on Monday:

I got a sippy cup (lol) I felt so weird buying one, but I read that it helps regulate/minimize gulping. I got chapstick, gauze and tape, gas-x strips, unsweetened juices, Jello, Isopure Isolate 28 from GNC (vanilla and Unflavored). I've tried both and I like them. The unflavored one does taste a tiny bit vanilla-like but not enough to drown out of the original taste of the drink I mix it with (peach-mango iced tea). I also got applesauce. My sister (a nurse) has recommended Hibiclean Cleanser for ...I have to go find that (CVS, Walgreens or RiteAid...in a turquoise bottle); also picked up a heating pad and a firm travel pillow.

Good luck to all of us!!!

So I am not bright enough to figure out how to get my info in a signature so here are my pre-op confessions:

I weighed 312 pounds at my first doctor's appointment at the surgery center. I now weigh about 295. 312 pounds!!!! That is a fat NFL linebacker. That is "fat" Oprah plus 70 pounds!! My legs look like a stack of Pillsbury Grand Biscuits. I feel like I hoist myself around when I move. Ready for change!

Good luck to my fellow sleevers! I have my pre-op class in the morning and pre-register at the hospital in the afternoon. Still waiting to hear from the insurance company about approval! It's driving me crazy to wait. The doctor's office said it's a two step approval and I made it through step one this morning. They said step two should be approved "any minute". I can't believe that it takes so long. I'm praying that I get the approval tomorrow.

I have approval and am so happy now. Happy sleeve birthday to everyone!

Sitting here in my hospital bed, doing great, so glad I did this! Lots of walking and just passed my leak test and will be going home in a few hours. Glad to hear you are doing well and best wishes for a speedy recovery and speedy weight loss :-)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
