i have no idea why i haven't posted on here before, but i suppose it's better late than never! hopefully i can meet some new people and accountability partners in my area.
Stacy,
My first advice RELAX. I know, better said than done. Know there will be ups and downs during this journey, but the ups will outweigh the downs. Also remember, we’ll always be here for you if you need us.
As for what to take to the hospital, one thing highly recommend by many is Chapstick. You favor pillow, maybe a fan, etc. Think of it as a hotel stay, but with terrible room service ;D

I ate hard boiled egg mashed up with a little lf mayo, salt and pepper; creamy chicken ff soup, applesauce; greek yogurt with mashed banana; friendship 1 percent whipped cottage cheese; tuna ground with a handblender and mixed with mayo; baked mild white fish; pureed turkey chili; and lots of sf pudding and jello.
Best of luck to you dear! Hope to see you soon!

Good luck, I have to tell you having RNY was the single best thing I have ever done in my life (minus my daughter) and I would do it over in a heart beat !
