  1. Milk Of Magnesia and clear that day for hanging out around the house. I didn't have any cramping with it, it just hit me that i had to go RIGHT NOW. Don't take the max dose either, lol.
  2. More embarrassing than the male nurse giving me a bedpan. I couldn't wipe properly. The pain on my left side was killing me, i sat there for 10 minutes trying until i said "screw this" and grabbed the shower hose. Worst poop ever.
  3. I planned to get this. (Uncensored of course, lol) But now...eh..i still want to get it, even if i end up not as fat, lol.
  4. Waking up at 2am and trying to get out of bed is painful as hell. I don't have a normal bed with a frame that's all purdy. It's a bed and box spring. No headboard or nothing. I kinda miss the remote for the bed, it would help me stretch and move the gas around. Now i have 6 pillows propping me up, lol. One of those pillows is used as a cat guard. They've been trying to lay on me.
  5. 5am, just got out of the shower for round 2 at the hospital. I am not looking forward to this. They did, however, call me last night and told me i am at the top of the list.
  6. I had an allergic reaction to plasma. Broke out in hives. No surgery until tomorrow. My blood isn't clotting as well as it should. Which is why the plasma. I took no aspirin so they've narrowed it down to not enough vitamin k, which is in veggies, which I can't have on the liquid diet. I had a panic attack while getting hives. I also was used as a damn pin cushion for 15 minutes until the specialist got there and nailed the blood draw in 1 shot. I cried, they really dug around in my hand. I just got home, then up at 5 am to be back at the hospital by 7. This is my first hospital stay ever. And it was horrible. I'm afraid to go back in the morning. I've never had plasma before, and this happens on the first try. It's like Karma is trying to kick my ass.
  7. It's surgery day and i must of gotten 3 hours sleep, awesome. I also learned i cannot make a post with my phone, boo.
  8. Why do i start menstruating 2 days before surgery? Seriously. Like i haven't jumped through enough hoops with the insurance and the moving of the date and starting liquid diet all over. I am so pissed. I'm going to bleed everywhere! *facepalms*
  9. Do not look at plastic surgery posts 2 days before your sleeve. I am terrified of saggy skin and needing surgery to get rid of it.
  10. I've been on the phone since 10am. I am so pissed off. (Can i say pissed?) After everything....i'm waiting on this woman to call me back, telling me the insurance called her and approved this letter. I have a few hours left to wait i guess. I don't think this surgery is happening on Monday. This will be the 2nd time it's been moved. The 1st time, someone in the surgeons family died.
  11. I receive a call this morning saying X is the time of my surgery and what to bring. 10 MINUTES LATER I receive a call from someone in the insurance dept of the hospital saying the letter my therapist sent wasn't good enough. That she should know how to word a letter to an insurance company and it wasn't "rocket science". the therapist the surgeon sent me to never finished his report from back in f**king April. I have an hour to fax this woman back. Well actually now it's 10 minutes. What the f**k. My therapist is on vacation, i have left every kind of messege for the therapist from the hospital, emailed my surgeon, even called the nutritionist to get her to see the therapist. (They're basically across the hall from eachother) If i don't do this ill have to restart the liquid diet again, FOR THE 3RD TIME. I am in f**king tears here because of the stress. f**k this b***h with no people skills being rude to me like i don't want this. Edit: Backup therapist called. she said "I got ya, what do you need?" Took this b*****s number/fax down and began writing a letter. She is going to call her and then fax her. I'm pretty sure i am in the clear. Like 80% sure. Also, whats up with this site censoring my writing, hrmf.
  12. Talked with the surgeon yesterday. I am good to go. I had some extra blood work and talked to the anesthesiologist about being under for a set of shots i can't remember the name of. (He was attractive, but married...doh!) My unflavored Unjury powder came in. It's a little odd but my other protein is worse. I'm kinda nervous, kinda scared.
  13. I have a list of proteins, and those two are on the list. I've been writing down a lot of stuff from the forums here and from chat. I wish i found this place before i bought protein, lol.
  14. So..a woman at my mother's job had samples for me to try months ago. They were fine with milk... But with water and food? Disgusting. I have a tub of vanilla & cinnamon bun.(Mixed together because it looked like i have less to take this way, lol) I put it in a small glass now and hold my nose, trying to choke it down. If i don't take it, i'm out $30. I'm waiting on unflavored UNJURY to come in, for my clear liquid stage next week. 5 more days until surgery.
  15. Anyhow... I think my scale is off. It says ive lost like 15lbs since i started the liquid diet. I've lost 30 since i started this whole testing for the surgery thing. Sooo...45lbs in a yearish? Surgeon tomorrow so i guess i can find out. This diet has me totally drained. No energy. I have no idea why i'm up now.
