Anyone else feel like they're swallowing too much air? I should not be belching to the point stuff comes back up.

I'm not even worried about protein at this point. I'd be happy if I can just keep down half of what I'm putting in. Such a shame because I feel so good otherwise. Hardly even have needed any pain medicine.

They're letting me bust out of here today. My doctor thinks the spitting up is just swelling or spasms and will go away. I feel great other than when I get stuck like that. He doesn't seem too worried so maybe I need to just calm down and do my best and just get in what I can.

This is exactly what's happening to me. Sometimes it goes down, sometimes I spit it back up. So frustrated.

Everyone keeps reminding me of the trauma I put my body thru and that nothing worthwhile comes easy. I just pray I can hold down more fluids and go home tomorrow. I know getting back into my more normal routine will make me feel a world better.

Threw up about a mouthful of liquid again. They say its up to me if I wanna stay another night or go home. Part of me wants to stay to make sure I don't get dehydrated but part of me wants to go sleep in my own bed.

I feel like everything is sticking too. And taking any medication makes me throw up.

I was feeling a lot better today and was supposed to be discharged, but now I just threw up again. I'm now terrified I'm going to end up dehydrated. Any medication makes me throw up. Ugh.

I just threw up again after some zofran and pain meds. Seems like every time I get to burping, I lose it and throw up. Ugh.

Today was not as good as yesterday. Going off the pain pump and into oral meds was rough. I was sick much of the day. I was really upset and wondering what I got myself into. Felt like I had something stuck. Threw up a little three times. One of those times was an un dissolved pill from hours early. Nurse thinks that's what I was stuck on. Have felt a world better since. Pressure in my chest is gone. My abdominal area is just sore. Also couldn't pee after they took my Foley catheter out so I had to get straight cathed. Now just wish I could get someone to answer my nurse call button. Need a warm damp washcloth to wipe my face after I spit up a little, and I'm out of water. I hate shift change.

Slept on and off for a few hours. One of the residents stopped in. Surgeon should be by in an hour. Hopefully I get cleared to drink. Everything is so dry it hurts!

In my room. All went well. Just sore and ready for a nap.

Getting parked at the hospital!!! I can't believe it!!!

Almost 1am here. Have to be at the hospital at 7am. I have no idea how anyone expects me to get any sleep!!!

Just got the call from the hospital. Surgery at 10:00am have to be there at 7:00am. I can't believe it's tomorrow!!! Hope everything has gone smoothly for everyone today! I'll be there on the losers bench with you tomorrow!!!

Good luck and lots of prayers for everyone today!!

I was using the Nuva Ring until I had two blood clots. It actually saved my life. I'd have never found out I had a blood clotting disorder. It could have killed me with a stroke if left untreated. I now have had my Mirena for about a year and love it! No period. Spot for a few days occasionally and that's it. I was on the depo shot years ago. Loved the convenience. Didn't love that I gained 50 lbs!!!

I also have BCBS and went thru 6 months of requirements. They did not use my EKG from my sleep study because they want a real 12-lead EKG because it shows things the 3-lead from your sleep study won't. It's to determine if you need to see a cardiologist for clearance beforehand.

I've second guessed my decision too, believe me! But now I'm two days from surgery and there's no turning back. I know what you mean tho. Some of my coworkers said I better not get a snotty attitude once I'm skinny!!! All I'm doing is changing my health and making my body match the person I am inside. I assured them I will still be 100% me, just in a smaller package. I just want to be able to achieve the things my weight has held me back from.

Good luck to everyone today!!! It's my last day of solid food. Holy moly. Where has the time gone??
