Would love any tips and tricks nd looking for mentor , i am scheduled for first week of june, pls help with any advice....Thanks a lot.

Thanks guys taking notes.....anyone has an actual list of post op nd pre op stuff we need to buy.Already ordered the gas x strips, the iso pure water nd powder, any other items to have in mind?

Sugar free jello, chicken broth. For the 3 first days.

Pick up your post op medications.

Do not use any different medication!!!

if you drink water and walk you will not have gas neither constipation. Doctor gave me medication if I do not have bowel movement (docusate sodium 100mg) and Ondansetron HCL 4mg if I have nausea).

I bought so much stuff that I tried before surgery and my taste buds changed. I didnt like half the stuff I bought. Just make sure to buy things u cant go wrong with such as jellos and sugar free pops. I like others, didn't have problrms with gas or anything because I did eay more than expected in walking. Good luck on ur journey and message me if u have any questions.

Abdominal binder! I wore it about a week at home too. I bought one, but i came out of the OR with one on. But definitely helps keep your tummy from not moving so much

A very good tip- I'm filing it in my "What To Do" column in my journal for my own surgery!??

Yep i agree the Tommy binder sound like a good idea... looking into it as we speak

I had my surgery in November. Are you getting the sleeve? The best advice I’m going to give you is to drink your water, stay away from sick people, and make sure you’re walking and following your diet plan. I did all those things but my surgery was in the heart of the sick season and I ended up getting sick and almost dying. Just be aware what’s around you and what your putting into your body. And you can do this. You’ll be great!

Not me, I'm a potential RnY , but the advice is still so so good. Thanx my bari-friend!?

PS I should have bought stock in GermS and Purell, I use enough of the stuff!?

solid advice ancirasd, i am doing the gastric bypass.

Are you on your liquid diet yet? If not,do you have a starting date? What kind do you think you'll be using? I've tried several different ones so far, my favorite Premier Protein Peaches and Cream.?

Hello Fam, hope everyone is doing great... what brand of jello or popsicles can i get?
