2 for 1 -- lucky me!

LUCKY ME!! I had what i believe to be my first slimming AND PB incident. It started with me having a horrible headache and sometimes when i throw up it releases some of the pressure...well it did but i was also burping [so gross sounding] and 'water' was just pouring out of my mouth. The heaving was strong enough to make one of my incisions drip blood!! All I kept thinking about was slippage! I sure hope not! Anyway, thought I would share..

oh my gosh...i thought the protein shakes were bad...i really can't stand the isopure protein *holds tummy* I'm looking forward to going back to the shakes! lol Well so far so good.

It'll all be worth it! anyway..went for my PreOp today..everything was fantastic! I'm so excited. good luck to all who are having surgery tomorrow!! :thumbup:
