A week from surgery!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is next week, and everything seems like it's crashing down... not necessarily in a negative way, but it seems like the nerves have kicked in, I'm feeling unprepared (although there's no reasoning behind why), & I'm scrambling to try my best to make sure I have any & everything I could need for the first 2 weeks post op. SO with that being said, what are everybody's necessities as far as hospital bag, clear liquid diet, and just trying to be comfortable after surgery? Any and all suggestions are welcome!

I'm also aware this topic has been addressed a million times on this site, so pls don't waste your time & mine to tell me 'someone has already asked that' :D

Thank you guys so much! Have a blessed day!

I packed comfy jammies & slippers, a toothbrush & paste, and my phone charger. I brought a couple of Protein packs in case I needed them, but really didn't. I slept the first day, and was in/out the second day due to the meds. I had Tomato Soup and mashed potatoes for when I got home, and purchased a strainer for the Soups.

Best of luck to you! You got this!

      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! 😞
