Pre Op Diet and what to bring to hospital??

Hello OH Friends,

I have officially started my 10 day liquid pre-op diet!!!  Excited, yet nervous... 10 days of protein shakes is going to be very difficult..  However, I keep telling myself if I can't do this, then I have no reason getting a life altering surgery and I really want that surgery, so I am going to make sure I do the pre op!!!  Any tips from anyone???  Also, my surgery is in 10 days, it is an over night stay any suggestions as to what to pack and make sure I bring????  I love this website, thanks in advance for all your tips and advice!!! 

Congrads...Slippers, loose gown, chap stick and A PILLOW FOR THE RIDE HOME  comfortable clothes .  Good luck

Thanks Joanne!!  Happy New Year!!  I'll tell Tishler you said hello!  : )

Good luck to you!  I will be interested to hear how it goes- I will be having the banding with Tishler in April. 

I guess my best tips would be easy to tie shoes for the ride home(bending to tie shoes will be uncomfortable) draw string or elastic sweat pants and a nice loose over size t-shirt. I wore those in the hospital and for the ride home. Get ready for the ride of your life! Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Breath spray was a life saver the first two days when I couldn't drink or drink much.

Hi Wendy,

Definately chap stick.. toothpaste/brush, breath spray (your mouth will be awfully dry) comfy slippers for walking the halls.

Loose clothing for the ride home.. easy slip on/off.  & a pillow for your tummy on the ride home.. those little bumps in the road you will definately feel.

I'm going in for a revision on Tuesday & bought myself a pair of fluffy hot pink slippers to make me feel better.. LOL.. & "hot" while I'm walking the halls in my sexy johnny.

Best wishes,
Mickey 

Thank you everyone for all your well wishes and tips on what to bring!!  I can't believe it I will be having my surgery in 4 days!!!!  I am nervous, but the end result will be well worth it!!!!  Look forward to being on the loser bench with all of you!!!!

Kindest Regards,
Wendy : )
