My hospital bag only has a robe, earphones, charger, 2 spare undies, face cream, toothbrush/paste, wallet and phone.

I'm going in with a dress and slip on sandals and plan on using the same when I get out

Good luck on your surgery. I have a week and day to go!d I have been on nothing but liquids for a week and have another week to go on the Protein Shakes, broth, Water, Jello and sugar free popsicles. I would love some scrambled eggs LOL! I had one day when i was starving but after that I have been feeling really full on the liquids. I drink a lot of water anyway so i glad i got into that habit a couple years ago. You are going to do fantastic, keep us posted please
Thank you, some days I was hungry others not much, but its finally over!

Had my first insurance presurgery drink tasted good but Idt the load of carbs is sitting right with me or maybe I'm starting to freak out that I may forget something at home lol

I am one week into the pre-op and these Protein Shakes are tasting so sweet I can't hardly do it! I have another week of this until surgery and then a few weeks after. I go tomorrow for my pre-surgery appointment so hopefully they can help me find some that are not so sweet ughhhhhh

Take a pillow for the ride home. I had an hour drive and it was comfortable to have it to hold against my stomach.

I was switching to the Protein Water late in the day, because some are just to artificially sweet for me.

Surgery day! Heading to the hospital, have to be there at 830, procedure at 1 or earlier. The hotel I'm at its 3min away so I will get there early, since I'm up lol. I'm still feeling good, I think I may be one of those that get a panic attack there lol

I added my toiletries because I remembered I cannot have deodorant or lotion on, deff need that later.

Took a sip of Water with my BP medicine, but man am I thirsty, had the 2nd ensure drink last night and that is pure carbs.

Just waiting now for my turn, all hooked up, cleaned, labs done, medicine administered, IV on, still calm. Saw the surgeon, assistant and the anesthesiologist. I had no questions so it was quick.

Surgery done, everything is great so far. Had gas pain in my chest only which felt like my stomach, i walked on my own for 1hr at 630, then at 930. Then walk in my huge suite for 15 min. Go to the bathroom on my own, i got 2oz of Water for a pill but only took 2 sips, no pain but according to my plan I shouldnt have anything prior to the GI test.

I only remember changing to the operating table in a room, then waking up to them telling me we are waiting for a room. I had to ask if it was done lol. Had some nausea, they gave me medicine but it went away after walking.

Will keep you guys updated and hopefully post a more detail day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
