hi caren, as advised by a fellow sleevie on here i have also packed some breath freshener and mouth wash as apparently you mouth can be very dry and your breath smelly - yuk!!

My nurse rang me and told me I need a good multi vitamin and calcium I'm having a band . It may be a obvious question but will I need to get liquid form ones? X

Lotsa sleeps since this was opened (not so many for me, admittedly) If Lil is going to be around post op, don't buy much food at all cos if you are like me, it won't get used. I filled the freezer with little pots of allsorts & nearly all of it got thrown away. Just get your liquid stage stuff in as you will be able to shop for yourself after that. So, Marvel, Slimfast, WW clear soups, NAS Squash, Fruit tea bags, Fruit juices etc. Your hospital bag will need to be a bit more extensive than mine as you will be out of the country & will need to cover all eventualities (unless I am coming with )
Toiletries, Lip Balm, 3 nighties, dressing gown, towels, book, Mouth Wash (spray) NAS squash, NAS mints, Blow up pillow for return journey, change, phone charger (adaptor for Czech plugs) earplugs, although you will probably be in a private room Loose clothing for coming home in ... sports bra preferably as underwire can rub on the wounds for some people.
I have probably missed something but I am sure someone will add to this for you .... ooooh I'm sooo excited for you, darlin xxx

I don't know you very well at all but I'm so pleased for you. Can't wait to follow your threads once you're through to the other side. The most important thing I didn't take and I wish I had was my patience! I wanted to rush through all the different stages and now looking back I'd say to anyone getting ready for surgery is "rome wasn't built in day"! Allow your body and mind to take its time healing and basically being reborn. Enjoy your journey Caren.

Excellent advice ... although Caren's not big on patience either, lol. She wants the op & the first 5 stone to be a distant memory xxx

I have zero patience, made all the normal mistakes - but the thing is, its the mistakes that helped me learn! My pig head had to learn fast not to rush my eating, not to weigh daily and that all the advice in the world wouldn't help me unless I helped myself! Four years on and goal reached I'd do it all again in a heart beat!!
