Surgery scheduled for May 6th. Should I be ordering/buying anything now??
One thing that helped me was a wireless bra. My drain was right on my bra line abd I couldn't wear my regular bras for a few weeks because I didn't want to irritate the area. I bought a couple cheap ones from Wal-Mart for $5 called the Best Bra Ever and i love them.
I also used breath strips because I didn't want to chew gum.
I would order samples of protein drinks. I tried them pre-surgery. I found after surgery I didn't like them but, at a month or two out they tasted the same as pre-surgery. I liked the thinner less sweat, low/no carb Syntrax Nectar shakes. I bought all the mini stuff, never used it. The shaker bottles with the wire balls are the best. I had a magic bullet when I had my band surgery as it was the best thing going, the shaker bottles are so much better.
Don't stock up on lots of food pre-surgery. I never got thru a fraction of what I bought. Sugar free pop-cycles are the best.
BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
