Im A Little Obsessive About Surgery Prep:

[TheCurvyJones 721]

Ive started prepping for pre and post op, especially the liquid phases. it's been fun trying to determine what I need to start out with. I know I'll need more on the food side of the table but I figure ill get that together before I leave.

Surgery is one month from today in Mexico!

What's that pitcher looking thing and the coffee things?

I ended up planning too much for after surgery before surgery >.> I have a TON of stuff in my cabinets that I never even touched because there was a lot I could no longer tolerate after getting sleeved. One of those things was baby food (which is vile and if I ever have a kid they're never having any because I wouldn't inflict baby food on anyone) which, thankfully I have a coworker with a baby so I'm going to give all that to her

The pitcher is an electric kettle (like a hotpot) the Mr coffee thing are those coffee cup warmers. I am quite sure I won't feel like running up and down the stairs after surgery so I'll have things upstairs to make life easy. I have a microwave up here and with the electric kettle I'll be able to make hot Water for powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or tea or whatever.

My bestie is 9 months out and gave me a good tip to get the Mr Coffee cup warmers because it will take so long to drink a cup of Soup that it will get cold and Unjury does not reheat well... it clumps. As well, I hate cold food and don't want to run back and forth to warm up anything so I figure the cup warmer will come in handy. I got one for home and one for work.

Wow, what is easy wrap in front? My surgery is in a week and I've got Protein, broths, protein bullets, and sf popsicles. Man looks like I might need to get on the ball

[ChristinesNewLife 20]

Protein powder - check

Protein bullets - check

Baby bowels and spoons - check

Bullet blender - check

Soup broth, Isopure, crystal light, popcycles - check

Comfy clothes and slippers - check

Vitamins ( liquid) - check

Biotin, collegen powder, nioxin Shampoo, firming lotion - check ( started this now, as I want my hair and skin to have all the help it can)

Now.. can put the cup warmer on the list after this weekend ( thanks for the great idea )

I know I still have lots to get still, I agree pre-op this is all I think about, really trying not to boar my friends and family with my constant talk and excitement for a new start on life. My day is Jan 2nd, less than 45 days.

I need to get on the good foot! I'm such a procrastinator. I have not started my shopping list. I am however taking notes for later!

I read here that a binder was a great thing to have, as well as a heating pad. Nice support for your abs, especially with sitting up and laying down. I want to get some of those big heating pads people buy for back or neck pain. The heating pad, I hear, is great to keep your muscles from tightening up? I thought I got one but I haven't seen it show up yet so.. ? Lol.

Oh I am already there. I start every vsg comment with [ boring conversation ],Thankfully my bestie wants to talk about it ALL THE TIME and my mother had RNY a long while ago so I have two experts in my life, as well as a separate community of people who've had the surgery.

My friends who have no idea about anything WLS related are fascinated!

I heard the protein bullets were really sweet so I decided to try ONE post surgery and see if I could stand it. I don't like super sweet things NOW so heaven knows how I'll feel after the surgery. I also couldn't bring myself to buy small bows and spoons. We'll see if i think it would help after surgery.

Bestie has a cabinet full of stuff she didn't like post surgery so I don't want to go through that. I'll keep it simple and see what I feel like being adventurous about once Jelly (I've named my sleeve) makes her appearance.
