I was just thinking of an infomercial I saw for the Brazilian Butt exercise routine. It's supposed to lift and round out the butt. LOL. I would prefer to have A LOT less of mine! Sounds like your hubby is a great guy and very supportive.

Liquids pretty much run through you, so I doubt you are hurting yourself. When you get to pureed and solids, you will find you can not fit so much in. Good job on getting your fluids and Protein in! I really struggled with that the first two weeks!

You are going to do awesome! It is totally normal to feel nervous (although when I was about to jump out of my skin with fear in the weeks leading up to the big day, I did not know that...I thought I was just a wimp) It sounds like you have a lot to do for work leading up to surgery, so try to just focus on one step at a time. Make yourself a list and start checking off things as you do them. Keep yourself busy so you won't have time to worry. Try to schedule in some YOU time as well, to just relax.

Prayers for you for insurance approval and a fabulous summer vacation where you walk by the shop windows and think, WOW I look sexy! It will happen!

I have a Magic Bullet which I love for making Protein drinks with ice in them. I start with crushed ice from my fridge though. I am not sure how it would do with whole ice cubes. I also have a Ninja. That is perfect for crushing ice. It's not quite as convenient as my Magic Bullet because you need to transfer the drink from the Ninja blender to a cup, whereas the Magic Bullet blends right in the cup.

If you are still feeling nauseous in the hospital when you are getting ready to leave, you can ask your doctor to prescribe an anti-nausea med to go home with. I think because you are consciencious (sp?) of becoming dehydrated, you will be diligent in sipping Water all day.

Doing the happy dance with you...it's great exercise!! Congratulations!!

No thanks for me. I preferred the way we did it, with me knocked out and not knowing or remembering a thing! Lol!

The wait will be over before you know it!! Good luck! Prayers for a speedy and uneventful recovery!

It says "asymptomatic" hiatial hernia. I guess that means that they cover hernias with symptoms.....where does it hurt? I bet you can get your doctor to write a letter of medical necessity.

Oh, I just re-read...10 days, not two weeks! That's four less days! Yay for you! You can do it!!

Congratulations! Mine fit for the first time in years this week too!

Almost six weeks post op and I can finally wear my wedding rings again! Woo hoo! I had to pry them off my finger (no easy task) almost two years ago and I have not been able to wear them since. Thank goodness I am a born procrastinator and never got around to having them resized, because they fit me again! Yay! I always felt like my finger was naked and also felt a little weird about not wearing them. Thankfully my husband never questioned it.

One of my friends suggested dipping your cheese in Salsa. It's like eating a nacho without the nacho (and without the carbs)
