I realize I provided no help to get ready lol...

Start stocking up on Protein Shakes, Protein powders, and sugar free popsicles, crystal lite, etc-- get a few different flavors, you'll get bored

Treat yourself to some comfy sweatpants and tops for recovery if you don't have some already.

My hospital bag had clothes, toiletries, my kindle, make up, and more and I used maybe 5% of what I brought. I was in a hospital gown the entire time and only changed my underwear each day lol never took a shower because I didn't get dirty or sweaty, brushed my teeth and washed my face and that was it. It's always good to have things in case you want it but you will most likely overpack. Also, I didn't use the gas-x I brought, but you should bring some.

One thing I did bring and so happy I did was biotene mouthwash. You can't drink anything before or directly after your surgery and your mouth gets dry. I rinsed with it twice and it was such a huge help!!

It's also nice to have a pillow in your car. I held mine against my stomach as my husband drive to keep it more stable. It was a good thing to have.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
