Alert the media! I just farted, whoohoo! Next stop, you know what.

I haven't farted or had a bm either. Very worried bc i am soo tender that I am not sure how I can. Got out of the hospital today and boy was that crazy. Had to go around town looking for a pharmacy that actually had roxicodone and would supply for my insurance. Some tears were shed. Im ok now but the meds don't seem to last the full four hours in between. Tummy very swollen. Crossing my fingers that I can get back to work as scheduled.

Finally conscious enough to read and post here. Pain was nicely controlled on PCA but not as well on just the oral roxicet. Fluids going down good but I was sleeping so much that they kept the IV fluids on. Still very tired.

My guy was being a little annoying too. I just told him to knock it off.

It is very very tart. But not disgusting. I mixed it with flavored water and drank it real quick. Nothing yet, lol.

OMG!!!!! Initiate panic now. Deep breaths. I just drank a bunch of mag citrate so I am waiting for it to hit me.

Wooooh. That is weird. Good luck bc that sounds hard. I won't even be clear liquid at the end of my hospital stay. They had us go to an education inservice and they had us try the protein drinks that they will give us in the hospital.

I am a nurse and worked in a hospital for five years. There is no reason you cannot have a cell phone. Old analog cell phones use to mess with the tele monitors but cell phones of this decade do not. Most the nurses should let you bc there is no reason you can't.

Me? I am thinking to take my pjs, toiletries, comfy clothes or a dress for discharge, my book, laptop, cellphone and charger, notebook with pen, and maybe a robe. How about you?

Good luck. I hope you get an early time, easier that way. I talked to the surgeons office today and they just bumped me up to 8am instead 10am, so thats good. Im working the next three days and then one off and then bam, surgery day!

5 days till surgery. Have already lost 21 pounds but I want to cheat so bad today. All I want is meat, like meat loaf or breaded chicken. Haven't cheated yet and I am committed but its getting hard as I have been on this liquid diet for 9 days already (doc gave me 2 weeks).

16th here!!

It won't be in your stomach bc you have a couple days still left and you have to do the bowel cleanse with mag citrate that will take it all out.

I don't think one isolated occurance is going to change the size of your liver. Just be strict from here on out, you got this!

I am in the pre-op liquid diet and I dreamed last night that I kept eating real food bc I kept forgetting. This compulsive eating dream is common for me when I have dieted in the past. I went a couple years without soda and I use to dream of guzzling soda and then freaking out about it.

My family is very supportive but I do get strangers who find out and are against it. I dont know why they think I will listen to strangers, its like my life is not at all influenced by you. This one guy wanted his spiritual diet friend to talk to me. And its like you know what, I have been in this body for a while now and I have been thin too. But it takes too much work and suffering to maintain that body type with help. I just cant stand when thin ppl think they have the answers bc unless you have been obese and struggled, you have no freaking clue what it is like! So shut up and let me live my life.

Guys, I am really sorry. Some ppl just plain suck. We have to just write them off and focus on ourselves and the loved ones that actually matter.

My place makes me stay a minimum of two nights.

I went to truenutrition.com and bought cold-filtered grass fed whey protein powder. Its the best for you and has 27 g of protein in one scoop. You can put it in anything like soup, milk, yogurt, etc. Comes in unflavored and any flavor you can think of.

Oh ya. Definitely do not take a med that makes you itchy! Next time you could have an all out allergic reaction. Deep breaths and just hold on tight to this up and coming rollercoaster. I told my coworkers bc I am open book and so excited that I had to tell everyone. If someone tries to give me shit or judge me then I just ignore them bc I dont care what they think. I am sooo ready!

Good luck and best wishes to everyone taking their destiny in their own hands.

Good luck to all of us on September 16. I will be thinking about you guys and your safe recovery as I go under the knife too. Our lives are going to change that I cannot hardly fathom it!

September16th!
