  1. I haven't thrown up yet thank god. But I am feeling a little light headed. I'm drinking a protein shake right now and it seems to be helping. Just a weird feeling.
  2. Woke up feeling great but right now I'm feeling kinda weird. I think it's dehydration. Every time I take a sip it almost feels like its getting stuck. Anyone else have this issue? I was up at 7:30 and have only had about 15oz. Kinda nervous.
  3. Unfortunately most insurances only pay for plastics if they are causing an issue such as rashes. I just had my surgery on Wednesday and I've already started saving cause I know I'm going to have to have it done. You could look into getting a care credit. It's a credit card for medical care. However the interest rate is something like 26%. Pretty outrageous. It's to bad that there aren't more options out there because having extra skin can be just as uncomfortable as being heavy. But I think you look great!! Keep up the good work!! Also use lotion. Hydrated skin has more of a chance of snapping back.
  4. Yea I probably could. It tastes alot like tussin. Blahhhh!
  5. Yucky is the understatement of the year!! Ewwwww that stuff is awful!! And I made the mistake of tossing back both tablespoons at the same time. I immediately got nauseous. I had to go lay down to get over it. I might just still to the liquid Vicodin.
  6. I got discharged at 6 last night and was asleep by 9:30. I took some liquid vicodin before i went to bed. That hit within 5 min of taking it. The gas woke me up at 5:30 this morning and I've been pacing my apt ever since. It's not super uncomfortable, just annoying. I'm just gonna keep on walking til this passes!! Good luck to everyone who has their surgery today!!
  7. Same here I wear tank tops under everything. It get really hot over the summer.
  8. Keep walking!! You'll feel so much better. I've done like 20 laps in the halls in a day and a half. And I'm getting discharged tonight!! Woo hoo!!! I can't wait to sleep in my own bed.
  9. You'll do great!!! It's almost surreal isn't it. I just started to take sips of water. It's like it's raining in a desert. Lol. Good luck!!!!????
  10. I hope everything goes okay!! I'm sending my quick recovery vibes. Lol. You will do great!!
  11. Congrats on joining the loser bench!!! I start drinking in like a half hour. Ugh I can't wait. My mouth feels like I'm sucking on a cotton ball. And I'm so hoarse from the intubation. Yuck!!
  12. Good luck to everyone whos going in tomorrow!!! Don't freak out like I did. You'll be fine!! I just feel like I did a ton of crunches. I'm even allowed to walk on my own now.
  13. That sounds yummy!! I'm gonna have to try that when I get home. Minus the extract. Too much booze in it. Lol.
  14. Lol. No way!!! I actually dropped my Johnny in the toilet so they let me change into my sleep dress so no more full moon until its in the sky tonight. Lol!!!
  15. Thank guys for all your help!! I'm completely fine now. Honestly I've had stomach aches worse then this. Just kinda sore. I took my second walk a minute ago and if it weren't for the morphine I'd be cruisin'. Lol
  16. Just checking in and seeing how your doing. Hope you feel good!!! Remember, morphine is your friend. Lol
  17. Laying in my room feeling pretty good. I'm sure the morphine helps but I'm surprised I'm not in much pain. Took two laps down the halls. Im shocked. I was so nervous this morning but I seem to be ok.
  18. Thank you!!! I'm not so bad now. I have my ivs in and just waiting for the surgeon. Nerve racking. Just needed to vent a little.
  19. I'm sitting in the hospital with my gown on and I want to run out of here!! I know this is the best choice but I'm so nervous!!!!!!!!!!
