Can anyone tell me what to pack into my hospital bag (apart from the obvious) but anything else that may come in useful

I have 2 weeks of pre-op. I get a shake for Breakfast and lunch and a lean Protein and veggie for dinner. It sounds ugly. I hope I can do it.

Lucky you, I only get shakes and Jello and popsicles. Oh and broth. ..ugh

Surgery date is July 22nd in Dallas' date=' Tx. I am so excited and ready to become slimmer and healthier. Preop clear liquid diet to start July 15th. I wish my insurance covered it 100%, but hey I will take 90% Just ready to get it done. For any of you that are having your surgery a day or so before or after me, I would love to keep in contact with you and swap stories of how you are doing. Kind of helps to know someone else is right there with you in your same situation.[/quote']

Mine is 23rd. I would love some support. Lets help each other :)

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

      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! 😞
