have a wls blog(or a blog in general? And tips/hints/tricks?

I want to follow you all~

Um my surgery is going to be 12/12/11 if everything goes right.

So can any of you guys tell your tips, your hints, what you wish you had done differently, what your weekly exercise regimen is? I already walk, 20-60 minutes a day. but what else do you guys do?

Also, what are somethings that you can buy and drink/eat/whatever on a full liquid diet? I know I should ask my surgeon and stuff, but I want to have some ideas to ask about.

And what are somethings I should take with me to the hospital when I go?

thanks for any answers I get in advance.

Before surgery I stopped drinking Diet Coke (wow, that was difficult), but wish I would have started drinking more water.

There have been lots of posts about what to bring to the hospital, use the search bar to find them.  I brought a pair of loose sweat pants to wear under my gown, made walking in the halls more comfortable than wearing two gowns.  The most important things to bring is lip balm!  I like Burt's Bees.

On full liquid I had a lot of clear soups.  For some reason, right after surgery, it seemed like warm liquids went down better than cold.

Thank you for the info~

I've already stopped drinking soda. And I hardly ever drink caffeine.

I do have a blog, the link is in my signature line.  There is a tab on my blog that will link you to all of the steps that I went through, from deciding to have surgery, to a few weeks post op.  The rest of the story is on the blog as well :)  I have a lot of answers to all of your questions there!

Good luck in your journey!  It's one of hte best decisions that I've ever made!

Thank you very much!
