Looking for someone to give me guidance, exchange cell numbers to text and be able to have quick access when needed. My surgery is schedule for the 23 and it all seems so unreal... begin this journey February 5 and everything happens so fast. I had an out of pocket expense of almost 1800 that I managed to pay. Now I need a grocery list to go and get so that even I come home I'm prepared. Somebody please help. I refuse to fail

sugar free Popsicle

Bottles of Water

2oz cups

Sugar free Jello

broth

Crystal light

Isopure Protein drink

Any Clear liquids sugar and decaffeinated.

That's all I use the first 3 weeks after my surgery and I did just fine.... Best wishes and good luck you will be fine

I mainly had... broth and Water.... Some more water and.... Water :-D

I had this grape mix I got from my bariatric doctor that's how I got my Protein in cus I really did like the shake I was drinking pre op. So don't go crazy and stock up on Protein drinks you like now because your taste might change after surgery.

It was a long time before I could get my protein but I always made sure I had water by my side. And mt pouch was a picky one. I could only drink ice cold bottle waster. If I drank room temp it would feel like I swallowed a lump. Don't take big drinks. Sip sip sip :-)

Oh!!! And congratulations!!!!!

Thanks everyone and Winter you're awesome. I look forward to staying in contact with everyone. Tuesday is coming very fast and I don't want to have a reason to have a break down. I'm praying for the best outcome and results A's I'll be posting for each of you

Praying for protection for you and guidance for the surgeons hands tomorrow as well as a fast and comfortable recovery! You'll do great! Let all of us know how you feel-- good and bad! We're all hear and willing to listen!

Thanks a million...I greatly appreciate the prayers. Now I'm confused in what to pack. I guess just a change of clothes, my charger and cell phone.

Toothbrush, tooth paste, comb, pads/tampons, undies, pjs, slippers, cell charger, phone, something to keep you busy, and your own pillow because hospital pillows suck. Haha I also brought deodorant and spray just because I hate feeling icky.

Even if you aren't expecting your period, make sure you bring the lady products you like because a lot of women start theirs after surgery even when it's not due. If you don't have your own stuff, you'll be forced to use the 3 inch thick boats that the hospital has. Haha

CHAPSTICK!!!!!!! If nothing else, take Chapstick!!!!!

How did your surgery go???

My surgery went smooth. No complications and took two hours. Sometimes I wonder if he really done anything. Now the hard part is eating. I.get full so fast and stay full, not sure how to get the adequate amount of food in that I need
