That's some serious carbonation, and it has aspirin in it. I would definitely say no. I was given a list of medications that I cannot have after surgery...ever and Alka-seltzer is on that list.

I would have to agree with MinaT.way to much fizz for your tummy

Very cool. I hope maybe I can do that kind of home test very soon. I kind of figure once I reach 199 that might be my trigger point. I still am not certain if what my ENT told me is true, that I may still have sleep apnea because of my deviated septum. The surgery for deviated septum, I have heard, is NOT fun. So I don't know about that part, but a home sleep study would be awesome. I'll have to ask!

Those adorable little girls are in front of Walmart again selling them devil Cookies. Stay away. I am hiding under my bed for the next two weeks !!!! :tounge_smile:

I had my required pre-op class at the hospital today. There were about 12 of us in the class to be sleeved next week. The class was two hours and covered what the process would be like from pre-op to recovery to what would happen while in hospital and what to expect. Then the nutritionist came back in and went over the post-op diet guidelines again. i had the "pleasure" of learning that my surgeon is the strictest in pre-op and post-op diet restrictions. Yay for me not! Then the physical therapist came in and talked about exercise, and then the RN returned to talk about behavior change, relationships, emotional issues. It was actually pretty good. There was one person really upset that she was going to have to wear those compression boots. Seriously, she wouldn't let it go -- out of all the things that are going to happen, thats the deal breaker? LOL. When leaving I had a call from the pre-admissions staff, but they were closed by the time I got done. This is all getting so real! Tomorrow I have my pre-op appt with my surgeon. Eeks!
