What's your Pre-Op To Dos?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a long list of to dos before surgery? I do. I'm interested in hearing about everyone's. So far I have a small list. I want to get an idea of everyone else's to see if I'm forgetting stuff. I mean I want to hear everything. For me I have:

Deep clean bathroom

Vacuum

Clean out kitchen non bariatric foods

Do all dishes

Get car professionally cleaned for trip

Get oil changed

Clean litter boxes

Clean pet bowls

Sweep/mop

Walk through with pet sitter

Put fresh sheets on bed

Take out trash

This is a small list and I feel there is more. Let's help everyone out so that we're all prepared when it comes time!!

I'm going to prepare some freezer meals for my family so that my husband doesn't have to cook every night. I have 3 children so they'll all need to eat while I drink and recover.




That's a good one!!

Put together a small bag, make sure you have something from home with you. Sounds like you're getting it done away from home.

Thank you! I would have forgotten, I never take pics of myself. :)

I need to request vacation time at work.

Make a living will ( I don't have one and I know it's a negative state of mind but, it would make me feel better)

Grocery shop for husband and kids.

Subscribe to HBO Now and Starz so I have more to watch when I'm post op and bored.

I understand. I shared my LastPass password with hubs before surgery.

Subscriptions are probably a good idea. I subscribed to Netflix a couple years ago when I had bronchitis and never looked back. :-)

Don't forget to shop for post-op foods and have them ready and waiting so it's one less thing to worry about. My local grocery store does deliver, so I have that IF I forget something but I don't want to have to use that service if I don't have to. I'm curious though how I will feel. My friend who was sleeved went shopping - like shopping shopping - the day after she came home. She felt great - I hope I have the same luck!

      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! 😞
