Hey beautiful people! I was wondering if any post op people had advice for pre-op. Is there anything special I should look out for. What did you guys bring to the hospital? Fellow pre-op advice is welcome too! Look forward to hearing from you all!

I was really happy to have a thick sweater vest with wide sleeve holes and loose cotton pants. it may have looked funny but it was comfy. and I loved my sleep mask and ear plugs cause I had a roomie. didnt read anything. didnt wear bras. I was glad to have my extra fleece blanket and sockies cause I was cold all the time. lip balm. such things...

oh, and a small firm pillow that helped more than the stuffed teddy they gave me for helping me move

I wore a loose dress and flip flops to and from the hospital, spent the rest of the time in the gowns they provided. Didn't wear bras, they were too much of a hassle. Bring a phone charger! Chapstick. After you have the surgury, start walking as soon as you can handle it, it helps get rid of excess gas and works the anesthesia out of your system! Sip Water often as soon as you get the OK.

      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! 😞
