About 3 more days to go, June 22 is my date. Before surg wt 272. Been on the pre-op diet for about 10 days, haven't weighed myself yet but my pants are already looser.

Excited and nervous...any weekend suggestions for me before surgery

Congrats!!! Pack loose clothing and a pillow to brace your stomach for the ride home...praying you have a speedy recovery!!!

Still about 6 weeks away for myself, but best wishes and hope for a quick recovery for you!

Get to the store! for your post op diet. Get a food scale, plastic strainer with small holes and measuring cup.

I'm on full liquids and was sleeved on 6/16/15. I also got a pill crusher and Jello sf pudding readymade cups for my medications. The strainer was great for cream of mushroom Soup. I had a metal one and it clogged. Walmart or target had good prices. Got Greek yogurt and coconut Water (which has 640 ml of potassium) Chapstick for after surgery was my best friend.

I would just say. Get to your feet ASAP. I was walking 3 hours after surgery. I did tolerate and put up with my pain because I did not want to be too gorked from the pain meds and not walking. This is also important as I was up about 10 times using the restroom to pee and hated bugging the RNs. Get a great nights sleep it the day before, or make down time. It actually seems to be getting easier.

Good Luck! It will be ok.
