For those who have already had surgery, any suggestions for what to bring to the hospital? Things to get ready for the return home?

I just brought clean underwear, a pair of gym shorts, and a T-shirt. I didn't even wear my shoes on the way home, because they put me in traction socks.

Maybe it's different for a woman.

My surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 7th. Just finishing up my 4th day on liquid diet. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

I'm on day 4 of my LRD now, have lost 6lbs WHAT?! I'm allowed milk, yogurt, fruit and vegetables on mine and it really isn't bad at all.

Hello, my surgery was June 1st so I’m in recovery stage. Doing good, but Protein Shakes are the worst!! Ugh!! Good luck all!

Yay! Which ones are you trying? I like the Premier Protein and fair life shakes ice cold. Is your stomach not tolerating it?

Just had my surgery on the 7th and I am back home. Seem to be okay with sipping liquids but doing it very slowly. I didn't take any of my Vitamins but plan to try and take them tomorrow.

Congratulations! My postop diet has me taking Vitamins a month after surgery. However I’m going to do the Vitamin Patch right after surgery. Are you feeling ok and drinking Soups and shakes?

So far I am drinking Water and a Protein elecrolyte drink. I will try some broth with Protein Powder tomorrow. I am relieved that I am able to stay hydrated but need to push my protein levels up. Still needing my pain meds but hoping I can switch to Tylenol tomorrow. I ended up having a hernia repair so maybe that is part of the reason my pain still lingering.

Just checking in. I'm at home now and doing pretty good. So far no real nausea. Drinking Water and Protein Drinks thus far. Had some cream of chicken Soup, yogurt, and pureed turkey while in the hospital. Pain isn't too bad. Heartburn is gone! Most the gas pain is gone, just have some pain from surgery itself. So far no hunger. Hope everyone else is doing well!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
