Same!! I'm holding my breath waiting for something to go wrong!! I really hope we both get to our surgery dates with no issues!! The only thing I've stocked up on so far is Protein Shakes but, that's it. When do you start your pre-op?

Don’t buy too many Protein Shakes ahead of time because your tastes may change. Also immediately after tastes are heightened so to me the Protein shakes were too sweet. I found the clear Protein Drinks to be easier to get down.

Best things people told me to bring were pajama pants (forget a robe cause all the wires make that impossible) you will want to cover up when walking around and phone or iPad. I watched Netflix and played games while awake but slept a lot as well. You don’t need much more than that. Seriously. Good luck. [emoji256]
Awesome! I didn't think about the wires! Thank you!

Hmmm... not sure what you mean. I have had my final weigh in and my pre-surgical appointment. At that appointment which was on 3/11, I was give my surgical date for 4/9.

I’m guessing they meant pre op diet. Or pre op appointment at hospital (some people have a separate appt for that).

Sorry about that! Yes, I'm suppose to have a seperate pre-op appointment with the hospital. No one has contacted me yet though. I was just wondering if anyone else is still waiting to do their pre-op appt at the hospital and what it might consist of?

What is everyone’s favorite clear Protein Drink?

I like the Premier Protein clear because it has 20 grams of Protein for In the beginning at least cause it’s so hard to get in the protein. I only found on Amazon in two flavors so I may switch to another brand once I can get some solid foods in through.

Yes bring it. People mentioned it and I didn’t get it and regretted it. You will probably only need it for like a day but it would be a huge help. So much so I’m surprised they don’t give it to you at hospital. That and chap stick. My hospital gave me some but just in case.

I felt The same way. Everything in life was referred to in terms of where I would be at in my surgery timeline. Lol. Once you start your preop it should seem to Go a little faster for you. These chats helped me a lot as well.

      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.
