Thank your everyone. I have a headache and was able to get all the mag citrate down, grape flavor. I think I'm slightly dehydrated haven't been doing well w water. But they will take care of that tomorrow Gen :-) 12/15/12

To those of you having RNY tomorrow, I'll be right there with you except not an RNY, hysterectomy + lymph nodes. Then praying results come back as stage 1 cancer so all will be removed during the surgery. 3rd time going under anesthetics in under 2 months. So, I am worried that I won't open my eyes to see my daughter again. I have to be there at 730, surgery at 10. So here's to all us mummy's that will return home to see our babies in a couple days. We are strong, we are woman. There is nothing stronger than a woman fighting for her children. Gen :-) 12/15/12

Eating: yep I do get hungry but to eat 3 meals a day is difficult plus get all the liquids in. It's tough and NEW. I think the newness is what I'm trying to get used too. I'm ok with 2 meals, but3 really pushes it right now. Just happy you're on the other side now :-) Gen :-) 12/15/12

There are people struggling every day to just lose. So gaining 1 pound of most likely water weight isn't a big deal. Especially when your talking over a 50+ pound loss in a month. Just work out, get your protein and liquids. Gen :-) 12/15/12

Mag citrate day yippee :-( Honestly don't even miss food at all. Liquid diet yesterday and today. I feel like I could actually live without food which I know it's not true Gen :-) 12/15/12

Some recipes I found and sharing. Gen :-) 12/15/12

So today was suppose to be a day of liquids and tomorrow clear liquids. Today I forced down 1 protein shake and 16oz water. That's it. I haven't had an urge to eat or drink anything all day. I've been cranky due to anxiety. On the verge of tears constantly. Geez it's been a really bad day. I hope I can force more water down tomorrow. Gen :-) 12/15/12

I'm so sorry. Please be careful and drive safe. Take your time and file a complaint when you are ready too. Gen :-) 12/15/12

A person that advocates for patients. Such as allowing you to stay a other night since it was already approved by insurance and emotionally you can't do the drive right now. Have you signed discharge papers? If not, request a patient advocate first. Gen :-) 12/15/12

I went in on a Saturday surgery. Home Tuesday and I, even though I missed my daughter was happy for the extra time. I was able to rest, walk, sleep. So if you have it, want to then take the extra time. Please take care of yourself physically and emotionally. That is #1 right now. I should have read all post first. I'm so sorry. Call a patient advocate. Is the Dr your surgeon? Gen :-) 12/15/12

The English muffins are VERY good. I suggest trying them. Gen :-) 12/15/12

Great loss Mrs Blues. I have found that there are foods I don't wish to even try. Pizza was my fav before, but I honestly don't really even wNt it anymore. I generally buy the Ezekiel bread. How easy is it to make it. Mind sharing the recipe for your bread. I found so many recipes online. My daughter loves the English muffins. Gen :-) 12/15/12

Cucumber sandwiches coming from Egg Face website: two slices of cucumber, your choice of meat, your choice of cheese. I love cucumbers and can't wait. I'm having smoked turkey and Colby cheese. You can use a dip such as mustard, etc for the sandwiches. Gen :-) 12/15/12
