    Hello Hello my beatiful people. I have been away so long. I havent had access to an actual computer and lets just face it, the BP App stinks! Anyways five days of vitamins down and no vomiting. I am so excited that three days ago I was able to eat regular food with no vomiting and kept it down. YAY me. I have really had a tough go of it and remained positive until a couple of weeks ago when i was just so fatigued. I did just buy a house and got a new job so that might be the reason why. My life is grand as of today. Baby steps and baby bites is my new moto! :)

    Well hello again! I really don't like this app :( hard to keep up with all your updates. I'm going to have to pull the laptop out and catchup. I hurt myself once again but that is a common occurance even before surgery! I got some applesauce and soup to stay down! Yay! I hope you all are doing great! Hard to see what the scale and clothes are tellingme but on clear liquids what did I expect?!? Lol

    Everyday is a new day. Dog hurt me last night but woke up to little pain like last night. Fatigue plagues me but I still can't get vitamins down without the heaves. Went back to clears yesterday. To attempt to move today or not to? Hugs. Have a great day!

      I've been worried about the dog situation I may have. My three are lap dogs. 2- 8 lbs and 1- 115 lbs. It will be extremely tough to keep them off me. Feel better. You will feel great in no time. <3

      I have a 25 lb Cavachon and a 95 lb labradoodle who both think they are lap dogs. I used a pillow to protect my stomach for the first month.

      The dogs didn't do well with with my bladder repair last year. Couldn't stand for me to have private time alone in the spare room. So needy! Even got territorial over my folly bag.

    Four days out. Today started pretty terribly. Can't do vitamins or meds apparently but I'll try again in two days. About 30-40 oz a day fluids. Trying to pick it up a bit. Trying protein at the moment. Happy Easter. Hoping the rest of the day is better! Hugs!

    One week from today! So, looks like it was definately allergies. I have started taken allergy medicine and feel a ton better. I just need to stay away from the sickies here at work!!!!!

      Jenelle

      LOL...Girl I hear you, three weeks ago I started getting sick and I panicked, My surgery is tomorrow. I started taking my vitamins, Since it was three weeks from surgery I took all the medicine I could and lots of water...Then the I became a germophobic at work..lol I carry the lysol wipes with me everywhere. And if someone was coughing I would stay away from them..I even went as far as to telling my son to stay away from anyone coughing in school..LOL So I can totally relate.

    3. Jenelle

      Jenelle

      I got sick three weeks before surgery and my Dr said only to stop 10 days before surgery so I took Mucinex and all the other stuff I could find. Took my vitamins and lots of water. And then avoid all the sickies. lol

    So I was just given my surgery time. 1:36PM. Kind of a weird time. Maybe that is a lucky number 136 :)

      missecua I dont think walmart carries them at all. They are at costco, sams club, and walgreens.

      Walmart here does carry them as well as Kroger if you have them in your area.
