Hi everyone! I'm a few weeks from my gastric sleeve surgery. My date is Sept 10th..(fingers crossed) I have been doing a lot of research as for what I need to buy for my liquid diet and ideas to make my shakes taste better. I already have my list for what Im bringing to the hospital. I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas? Ive yet to buy my multi vitamins and my calcium chews. My next appt I will need to buy my shakes and begin my liquid diet. I would love to have some friends who are taking the same journey as me..someone who can relate..thanks in advance!!xoxo

My surgery is Sep 5th nervous, scared. Hoping for the best and ready to loose the weight

Hi, I am sept 9th starting my liquid diet on Sunday for 2 Wells ugh....

I'm September 10 also. I just did all my pre-op stuff on Wednesday. Found out my Vitamin D is low enough to put me on prescription strength Vitamin D for the next 8 weeks. I will start my pre-op diet on the 3rd and have all the shake mixes for that but still need to buy some of the approved Clear liquids to add to it. Turned in my FMLA stuff to HR today. I haven't shopped for any post op things yet nor have I thought about my hospital bag. Honestly I'll probably do most of that the weekend before. I did get my Vitamins ordered so I can have them available the 3rd when I need to start them. Starting to feel excited and very' date=' very nervous.[/quote']

I have had a sore head the past 4 days, but I thing I'm just dehydrated or going through withdrawal from sugar, coffee, carbs etc. It will all be worth the pain

I am on day 2 of my liquud diet for dinner i am freezing a shake. I blended vanilla ice cream flavored GNC Protein powder and skim milk and put it in the freezer. Hoping it turns out yummy! My surgery is September 5th

Sounds yummy! Keep me posted!! Best of luck

I'm September 9th

There's 2 things I've found that not a lot of people talk about for the hospital

1) a pillow for a couple reasons

-after any major surgery there is gas build up' date=' you have 5-7 incisions on your belly, or if you cough, & for the ride home to help block the seatbelt.

2) gas X strips. Not much explanation here, it doesn't take 100% but it's suppose to help A Lot.[/quote']

That is awesome. Thanks I just picked up the gas x strips and I will bring my soft pillow!!!
