  1. How can you seriously post Your hospital is called the royal jubilee ? Lol. Canadians. ????
  2. Hang in there! Pre op is by far the hardest part. Im over a week post and have lost any desire to eat. I always feel full.
  3. Lost big time time to pizza during my pre op, didn't even feel bad about. Everythingworkedoutok.jpg Curiosity needs to know what toppings you had.
  4. Finally got my JP taken out today! Thank god. They told me to lay down and breath in, and out and in and out , while the lady was pulling it out. It didn't hurt be certainly felt weird. definately gross too! I dont know what it is about it but i find the whole thing vile! Yeck! TLDR - Got it taken out , thanks for support that night guise.

  13. good to know cosleevedude! I feel it hurts more when I walk , and I haven't even been able to sleep in the bed because I feel like I am going to push it in! OCD I suppose but glad it went away quickly after they took it out!

  15. Im no dr but I have seen some people saying they only had to do 3 days liquid! There was a post earlier about some people saying they had a few cheats here and there on pre op as well, I don't think your alone in this! It seems most people find day 6 the hardest!
  16. So tomorrow will be a full week post op, but I must say the thing I hate the most is the awful JP drain! It gets in the way and I swear I feel it stabbing my insides every time I move!! Im not normally a squeemish person but today as I was puting the bandage back on it, I felt so grossed out! This tube is in me?! Curses. I feel so grump now! It looks a little bit red too at the spot it comes out of my body. What I was really wondering is, when they pull this out, does it hurt any? Also, do they have to stich the hole back up? I can't imagine they just throw a bandage and just send you home, I mean how is it going to seal up on its own?
  17. H ow can you have anything from when you were a kid?? My parent threw away everything if god forbid I didn't put it back in the same spot I found it! Where is forum for people who suddenly are upset by this as an adult? Where is my teddy ruxpin!!
