  1. Why the sad face? Novam, I still don't know your face. And I'm still doing that too. "Maybe I'll get the flu, or bronchitus, maybe this snow won't stop (Missouri) and the flight will be delayed by days. Maybe maybe maybe what if I have an abnormally large liver dispite the preop, and they send me home?" I should probably be on something for this.
  2. Should I have dh pick up powder, chewable or pill form vitamin c? What dosage?
  3. I have chipotle chili pepper, dry. Should I eat it by the spoonful? Ha. I'm only half joking! I'm willing to do anything just about! Vitamin C, also on the list for dh.
  4. Woke up this morning and noticed a little phlem in my throat/top of lungs that comes up when I growl. . I wouldn't be AS worried about missing my surgery in 3 days if It wasnt a mx surgery with a 550.00 flight that leves on Friday march 1st. Please pray for me and tell me what I can do to prevent it from getting worse or to make it go away! Please! I've been waiting on this moment since last may and ill be crushed if this doesn't work out for me! I'm so darned excited and I seriously doubt dh would let me spend on a flight again. He's also already gotten his time off, etc I personally am snowed in with 6 kids home from school, but my dh can run to the store for anything that might help. Or I can try to get to the dr or something. I wonder if my stress is compromising my health.
  5. Yay! So many of us getting sleeved this week!!! Praying for you!
  6. ^ doesn't really make me want one. "/
  7. I'm getting stir crazy. I'm snowed in and even if I wasn't, I still don't have anywhere me to be since I've gotten everything taken care of. Tick tock, tock tock...... Kids keep me pretty busy though, and they have another snow day tomorrow, so. They should go back Thursday and I'll have all day to chill with the two youngest kids and lay out their outfits for the week etc. So excited.!
  8. Oh I'm sorry to hear you're having so much pain! I've read that after day 3 it usually eases off, I hope you get better sooner than that. (Hugs) How frustrating that you were told you'd be first and you weren't. "/
  9. Oh diamond, I'm so sorry you're feeling this way! I'm so happy that you're healthy and healing and your surgery was a success, that's the bright side, along with weight loss. I can imagine the first month just plain Sucks, and it will be VERY hard not to just bite everyone's heads off and be a raging lunatic. Not having food to turn to will be hard, and I have a lot of nuisances in a day. Add pain on top of that and stupid tiny sips, I might go stark raving mad. "/so I can't say I know how you feel, I can say tht I can picture how you feel and it's kinda bleak. But, cliche as it is, "this too, shall pass." I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope you wake up tomorrow feeling so much better. Are you in pain? Have you tried warmer Water? Warm herbal teas? Other liquids that might be less harsh? I know you know all this, after all, you've researched this longer than me. I know too, that sometimes in the thick of it, it's easy to forget stuff you've been packing your head full of for months.
  10. Lol yes, Amy. I'll be the fat american girl..... Wait!? Lol I think I'll be heading out of the hospital the night you're flying on, so we might get a night to chat. How are you doing afa nerves?
  11. I'd write in my signature "no Pm's at the moment, blah blah blah" Paraphrased of course.
  12. Thanks for he heads up. I've been looking for a good book fir my kindle, for on my flight to mx friday, for my Saturday surgery.
  13. I've emailed dr. Garcia and he says he uses a 32 on bmi over 40, and 36 on those with a bmi under 40. Is this wht you are talkin about Cindy? If so, that's a verrrry tiny difference in size. I'm sorry you're having a hard time.
  14. Better. The Ativan was actually prescribed for my plane ride, but I took one today just in case I have any sort of reactions and so that in know what dosage to take. He pills are only .5mg and I think I might need 2. I'm not even positive they did anything for me at all. My nerves are better. I think ive had every emotion known to man in the last here weeks since I booked my flight and today's is "ready to get this over with". If I could go today I would. thx for checking up on me.
