Who else is having surgery tomorrow?! What is everyone bringing to the hospital?! I feel like my nutritionist was horrible and gave me no information about after surgery other then that I would be on a two week liquid after- do I have to bring Protein Shakes to hospital?! Someone please help!

Congratulations! I am not having surgery tomorrow but figured I'd say good luck anyway. You don't need to bring Protein shakes to the hospital and they will give you all the info you need for your post op diet while you are there.

Keep us posted:)

Good luck! It's a good idea to bring a robe, non-slip slippers for walking in the hospital, and some sort of chapstick. My lips were terribly dry and I was so glad that I packed that.

Good luck!!! I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm for sure bringing my laptop and nook with me when I do have it. Oh and comfy pj's.

I am! Chapstick is a must. I've also seen suggestions for a pillow so that you can comfortably brace yourself on the ride home. Best of luck! We got this!!

I didn't use anything I packed but my cell phone. Chapstick and tooth brush and toothpaste. My second day my breath was so bad from dry mouth and it really was nice brushing my teeth

      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! 😞
