  1. Enjoying the weightloss and smaller clothes! I am feeling great and the fibromyalgia has calmed down significantly! ya

  2. Terrib, If this continues or you are still really worried about dehydration; you should consider calling your surgeons office. They maybe be able to prescribe an anti-emetic (anti-nausea) to help. This may require an office visit. Personally, I ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days. I had major problems with anesthesia and the IV pain meds. I was so green and heaving for the first three days there was no way that I would have been able to drink enough. I had continuous IV fluids and pills for the nausea every 2 hours. It is the worst those first few days, but it really will get better. As for when I got home, sipping warm tea helped so much. I really like The Tea from Aveda, it's a comforting tea. Herbal and very soothing with a good flavor.
  3. I can't believe how small my incisions are! Which I am thankful for. Only one is super sore, which when I consulted my surgeon about today, found out it's the one that he pulled my stomach out through. Apparently there are some stitches inside giving me some tenderness. I am sure it will pass.

  4. The surgery went perfectly! On the other hand I didn't handle the anesthesia and IV pain meds so well. Otherwise I think it has been a good experience.

  5. Treating myself before I go in for surgery tomorrow......pedicure and sephora!

  6. Pre-op is done! I am so happy everything is a go for Monday morning!

  7. Enjoying one of my last weekends before surgery.
