  1. I'm waiting....I can't get my wedding ring off!
  2. On my way to the hospital.
  3. They made me wash my stomach with this presurgery scrub, and now my stomach itches so bad!
  4. Ha I remember hearing stories of med students practicing pelvic exams on women against their will while they're out before surgery. I was thinking if writing on my inner thigh with permanent marker "nothing in vagina, thanks." Lmao.
  5. Just found out my surgery was moved up two hours which is wonderful because I was really not looking forward to having dry mouth for that long and hearing my stomach gurgle. I told my 9 year old today in a very generic way and she is ok with it. Thankfully! Usually she is clingy with me and a drama queen. Now I have to pack, take my before pictures, and take my measurements. My stomach is a mess! I feel kind of weepy and nostalgic and sad. I guess just saying good bye to my old life that I was comfortable with is hard even though I know the future is going to be so much better!
  6. Id rather deal with a tampon than wipe someone's butt and vagina that is covered in blood!
  7. OMG no I am not asking my h to do that. Ha. The nurse is calling me today so I guess I'll tell her then. Just my luck.
  8. Thought it would be gone by tomorrow but I don't think so. What am I supposed to do? I'm afraid I'm going to wake up in a mess because there are times I have to change tampon twice an hour. Do they let you use a tampon or do you have to use pads? Am i going to be able to change them after? Or will I be too sore and out if it? THIS SUCKS!!!!!!
  9. I don't know, it could be because I've had nothing but liquids for a week?
  10. I know I can't take Pepto because it has aspirin in it. Any ideas?
  11. I'm on the same day! Only one more day of liquid diet!!! I'm so excited!
  12. I feel for you! I just saw a commercial for pizza and salad and had to avert my eyes.
  13. I know it's just shakes for a while after surgery but I imagine I won't be in the mood for anything but that. But when you have a healthy in tact stomach and appetite, it's the worst!
  14. I thought we couldn't have pb2 until after? Well I have tried everything from putting them on ice to trying different brands, to mixing them together. My husband is out getting my peanut butter flavored right now. I feel literally sick today, I have barely got out of bed. I don't know if this is normal!
  15. Mine is on Tuesday, I'm just so sick of shakes I'm to the point where Id rather be hungry!
  16. I can't imagine the people who have to do liquid for two weeks. This is torture. I'm ok this morning but last night was so hard. If I do eat something I'm not supposed to it's going to be lean meat or veggies. I'm such a cheater eating veggies. Lol.
  17. I saw these chocolate crisp things that look like Pringles and I picked it up and was thinking "oh my darling do you know what I would do to You, if only we could be together, imagine the possibilities."
  18. I just had a super lite string cheese and a slice of thin deli turkey. It was amazing. Earlier I went to the grocery store to get more protein powder and I seriously felt like I was staring at the food like it was porn or something. Next time I'm sending my husband.
  19. I know, I don't want to break the rules but I feel like if I have another protein shake I'm going to puke. I'm starving and I can't sleep.
  20. Loveit at least u visitor was pre-op I am expected to have her visit me around the day of my surgery. I cramp so bad during I'm questioning if I want to request meds to skip my cycle that month. Cringing at the thought of pain from surgery PLUS unbearable cramps....ughhhh Maybe the stress will keep you from getting it!
