I just found out today I am approved for surgery. I didn't think I would be approved this fast, so I'm kinda on edge a little bit. Plus my weight keeps fluctuating 1-3 pounds everyday, which makes me nervous. I started doing a liquid diet yesterday, not so bad. But I'm just wondering what others did to prepare for their surgery? I'm hoping to have surgery the end of this month or the first couple days of February.

Woot, woo congrats!

Make sure you buy a blistex when you go to the hospital. That helped me soooooo muchhhhh... Prepare yourself emotionally that you can't eat when u come home. I was so excited about the surgery that I didn't prepare myself emotionally and now it's been 4 days since surgery and I am having a hard time . I know it's not forever but it has been the longest 4 days of my life. And congrats. I was so excited when I got approved.

Thank you!!

Oh I learned on how emotional it was in Sept when I had emergency appendix surgery and had complications for a month and spent that month in and out of the hospital. I lost 22 pounds in one month because I couldn't eat really anything. I was basically over eating and didn't want to eat because of the pain and was just sick.

I have no pain at all. I forget in the morning that I just had surgery. I am thankful for that. Just be prepared because I am wanting food that I would of never ate before the surgery. It's sooo worth it. I did regret surgery first day but not after that. I've been happy just miss food. You will do fine. Being your own pillow and it's a MUST that you bring a mouth wash omg it comes handy. Also lotion. A phone charger and extension is mandatory lol
