I GOT MY DATE!!

[hannahkayy 3]

I can’t believe it! My surgery date is 3/12/19!!! In less than 2 months my life is going to change!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait! In 4 weeks I start my 3 week all liquid diet. Thinking I will try and prep for that by starting early and doing breakfast/lunch a shake and dinner a proper meal.

Anyone have any tips or tricks? Tried and true recipes? Tips on stuff I MUST take with me to hospital? Thanks guys!!

Congratulations! The best thing i can recommend is do not stock up. What you like before surgery you may not like after surgery. Your taste buds will change and then you will be stuck with a bunch of stuff you no longer like or that your stomach can no longer tolerate. Pre Surgery, just get what you need for pre surgery and maybe a week after since you will be tired and not want to be out and about.. but after that its trial and error to find your new flavor

Good Luck!

Congratulations! I'm six weeks post-op sleeve. I took pajamas to the hospital and never needed them. But I did end up using my toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, and hand lotion. Other than that I can't think of anything you'll need there.

Believe it or not the liquid diet isn't as hard as you'd think. I had Gatorade Zero, Diet Peach Tea, Protein Shakes, sugar-free popsicles, and sugar-free Jello on mine.

I second the don't stock up rule. I liked all broth before surgery and now I can't even handle the smell of it. Good luck with your WLS journey! The clocks a ticking!

I couldn’t agree more about not stocking up. I’m just 5 days post op and totally sick of the Jello and popsicles I ate during the prep diet. Yeah about that prep diet....it was the worst. I was soooo miserable but now 5 days out I’m singing a different song. #successfulsurgery #lifeisgood

I am sooo nervous about the 3 week liquid diet before surgery! However, I am beyond ready for this new life! I feel incredibly blessed.

I'm not nervous. I only have to do it 2 weeks and I know it's the last time I'll suffer[emoji23]

You're so right. Thank you for putting it into perspective like that for me.

The last time I will suffer. Brings tears to my eyes. ❤️

Note to self...

NO STOCKING UP.

Got it!

I am really into makeup and all that jazz, so one of the things I am booking before surgery is to get eyelash extensions so when I wake up, I'll feel all pretty. lol

On a scale of 1-10, how bad was the pain after? I was thinking of just bringing flowing dresses, would yoga pants be too constricting on the wounds? I plan on walking as soon as I wake up, I'm afraid of a blood clot forming so I plan to WALK WALK WALK! I really appreciate y'alls input.

Of course I'm pre surgery but I would think a little compression would feel good.
