CONGRATZ!!! WELCOME TO THE BENCH! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Last nite I asked DH to take the ac unit out of the kitchen window cuz it was chilly in the house. After a bit of grumbling he enlisted our darling son to assist him. There was a small amount of manly noises, 'it slipping!' and growling from both of them while they accomplished the task. Therein lies the problem. My version of accomplishing the task vs. their version. Now this ac unit is a snowbird and lives in the back shed for the winter. I wrongfully assumed that accomplishing the task would mean that it would find its way home with their assistance.

You go girl! Welcome to the Bench! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Omg thank you for writing these messages. I'm 3 days out and have just met the enemy. He knocked me on my ass faster then anesthesia. Puree chilli with cheddar sprinkled. I was eating slowly savoring every morsel just chit chatting with my nephew any son. And then.... it came out of no where, the cramp, the lock up, the lower left hook feeling in my belly, the instant muscle twitch and vibration. I started to sweat in panic, omg, I'm pretty sure I saw Jesus, Mary and my great gramma when I hiccuped last nite. What new level of Satan's Playground of Painful Curiosities will vomit be? Tears welled in my eyes. I bolted from the table, sprinting to the bathroom. [Reality ck- 'I clawed my way from my seat remained in a bent and twisted bodily position while holding my guts for dear life leaning on the counter edge for support and direction to the bathroom'] description provided by my kid who will one day be the only one in high school w/o a car "like everyone else". See if he thinks that's as funny. I digress. I stood in the bathroom in a scared sweaty panic - 1 last step to assume the praise bowl position and I stopped. Now how in the name of everything good graceful and holy am I gonna get my ass in that position? I begin to cry. Not only am I in pain and scared but I'm prolly gonna have to clean my vomit too. My husband is jiggling the door, begging to get in and I yell no I don't want him to see me like this. The door flies open in comes both of them he grabs me and my son gets a cool rag for my head. They help me to my bed, where my son sits and says "mom, this is the part where all the really gross and disgusting things you do we ignore and help you thru it." I can manage a moan. My husband asks in his most gentle voice, "honey, what did you in. I need to log it so we know for next time." I think for a second. It was that last partial teaspoon of chilli that was the criminal. It made the trip to my swollen Lil belly like a scud missile in the desert. Wait, wait just a damn minute. ...log it? You have a log? Did I tell ya'll I am a super duper big baby with pain? I suppose ya'll figured that out already.

Thank you thank you momma3. I'm gonna try that tonite. I'm 3 days PO. Having strange taste issues. Seems like the only things a can get down are savory. I woke my husband up in the middle of the nite talking like a magpie in my sleep about how he should cook the steak and green Beans. He was so mad at me for the rest of the nite till I woke up and he could tell me how badly he is craving steak now. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Communication and conversation require questions answers statements and responses. I'm thinking that your curiosity/questions has made you defensive. No one is attacking . Statements and responses are just that. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

That only occurs from the other chemicals in cigarettes. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Ooh amber I am facing the same test if willpower as you. Just reading this thread makes me want a cigarette. I quit Aug 10. My surgeon said he would cancel me if I showed nicotine in my system. I had such anxiety over it at my pre surgery appt., The nurse told me I looked like hell. I told her I used nicotine replacement so a UA or breathalyzer would show nicotine. She took a blood sample instead. It looks for nicotine chemical break down that attaches to the hemoglobin in the red blood cell. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Just got home from the pre surgery testing that I stressed my ass off about for weeks now. I passed all the tests with flying colors!!!! Including the Nicotine Test. Yeaya! Last cigarette Aug 10. I was worried if I would be clean of nicotine by now and I AM!! I would have rather come up pregnant at 51 then with Nicotine present in my system. The Dr thought I was kidding. Hell no. Quitting was the hardest thing I've done. Surgery on OCTOBER 12 confirmed. BRING IT ON BABY! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
