I'm not planning to take much. Toiletries, comfy sleep pants to wear under my hospital gown, cell phone and charger, reading material in case I get bored, and a stuffed animal or small pillow to help with getting out of bed. Good luck to you on your surgery.

I would do a light weight robe or like I did a long sweater to throw on over my hospital gown for walking...

sleep pants might be hard to take on and off..

And you will have those things on your legs that puff up and down (forgot the name)..

I brought my favorite silk pillow and mouthwash.

Lotion, hair ties,

And to answer your question, I am taking my pillow, Kindle, chapstick, deoderant, toothbrush and paste, hair ties, baby wipes, socks and slippers for walking the halls. I'm not bringing a robe (I don't own one and don't want to spend $$ on something that isn't going to fit me for more than a few weeks or months!)... I'm just planning on double gowning. I would like to bring roll top yoga pants to wear for days 2 and 3 if I feel up to it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
