I'd say stock up on tylenol, small containers of a variety of Protein Shakes, (you never know what you'll actually be able to tolerate) lots of high Protein Soups to blend, and Water bottles. Don't forget to pack a comb in your overnight case.... I did... and I was wheeled out looking like medusa. ;-)

Good for you. No surgery date for me yet, figuring May/June. All I can say is stock up on the liquid vitamins and Protein Shakes.< /p>

Best of luck to you!

Out of everything I brought.. I used Chapstick, deoderant, toothbrush, hairbrush and phone charger. I brought a book but was flying too high on pain meds to be interested.

I slept 30 min the night before surgery and I wish I took some melatonin and slept more because the three days in the hospital they woke me up every 15-30 min. The day I left my fiancée was like do u want me to go pick this up then come get you and I was like noooo get me the hell out of here so I can sleep lol

I have my surgery on 4/3. I am anxious and excited..... Anyone else scheduled soon... Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi, I am scheduled on 5/1. I am so excited & can't wait to get the process started. I have a lot of low back pain, knee pain & also hip pain. For the last few years I have taken so many steroid injections & one day I just made up my mind to just take the step to get the weight off. My doctor said it is the best decision I have ever made. Wish I would have done it sooner. Getting ready for Pre Op testing & more education classes. Good luck! I am anxious to see how it goes for you!

      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?
