I found it at Walmart next to the mouth wash in the toothpaste isle , I got that and found there was also TheraBreath lozenge's for a couple of buck so I grabbed a back to try.

All I needed was clean undies, Chapstick, and my outfit for going home. I do recommend bringing a phone charger, just in case. I didn't need mine. My hospital actually provided Chapstick, but I would have been sad if I had left it. I had trouble concentrating to read, so I didn't read my book at all.

For women, Aunt Flo loves to show up during times of stress. The hospital will happily get you a pad if you need one, but bring your own if you prefer.

Ditto on the chap stick! That's the one thing I used a lot!! The nurse gave me lozenges because my throat actually hurt more than my stomach. Apparently the entubation can irritate your throat.

Can you have "lozenges" after surgery??

I'm not sure, I don't see why not. we would only be sucking on them. But I am going to ask first for sure. They where very inexpensive so I grabbed them. The spay tastes like you ate toothpaste lol. The lozenges I think are orange which sondes more pleasant.

So now that I am on the other side the things I found invaluable were:

Phone and charger (lots of loved ones checking in which was nice)

Biotene spray

Chapstick

Earbuds (there was a woman across the hall moaning all night and calling for her daughter. Very sad but between the morphine and ear buds she sounded much further away)

      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.

      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! 😞
