I had a button for pain meds. Didn't touch it the whole time.

I'm 2 days out ant having trouble, too. I have sugar free twin popsicles that are about 2.5 oz and I put them in a bowl because it takes an hour to finish one.

I can't tolerate pain meds at all, so I felt completely awful. I had the dry heaves when I tried to drink, too. Between the dry heaves and all the IV liquids I manged to majorly piss myself TWICE! No idea how I got down that contrast liquid the next day, it was like being tortured. They gave me 3 different nausea meds along with the patch beforehand but nothing worked. Much better that I'm back at home with my sugar free popsicles.

Reporting to the hospital tomorrow at 8:30, should be having surgery about 2 hours after that. I'm so excited I could freaking EXPLODE!!!!!!

Skinny jeans!

Mine wasn't bad, I sat in the guy's office and was asked a lot of general psych background questions like if I've ever had depression or if I have stress at work.

I'm praying I can still tolerate sushi post open. I LOVE it. I told my husband we'll order a boat, I'll have like 4 pieces and he gets the rest.

I have a tendency to put leftovers in the fridge and forget about them. I hope I don't wind up wasting too much food!

Good idea! I'm a Pinterest addict, too! I might go to Goodwill, too, but I'll have to travel out to near my in-laws or something. The one closest to me is in Reading, PA which is a highly impoverished area so I can't imagine they'll be any great finds.

A new year and a new body! My goal for 2013 is to drop 100lbs! But I'm also really looking forward to some of those non-scale victories, even if they take a little longer. Here's some items from my wishlist: - No more squeezing into tiny bathroom stalls! Though I swear some of them have the TP dispenser at the worst place possible to really CRAM your legs in there! - Going to a clothing store and not having to search for the "plus" side. - Not having my knees grinding under my weight when I go up and down stairs. - Wearing a swimsuit that doesn't have a freaking skirt attached - Wearing dresses and not having my thighs rub together til they're raw - Boots! I want a pair of freaking BOOTS! - I want guys to try and pick me up. Not that they'll get me (I'm married), but it'll make me feel sexy. What are some goals everyone else has -- crazy or non??

I'm hoping to take some of my clothes in. I haven't done it before, but I have a machine and used to make costumes. I figure I can probably find a tutorial on YouTube. I have some smaller dresses but they're ones I used to wear to Dracula's Ball so not exactly work appropriate.

My supervisor was already freaking all week about my LOA. No one else can really cover my accounts but her. I think she's also a little jealous judging by comments she made when I told her about the surgery.

I think I put on 4lbs or so over the holidays but I figure I'll probably lose it during this preop diet. I'm so glad I don't have to do liquids, I wouldn't be able to function.

Glad to hear you made it safe and sound!

I love taco bell, and have surgery in 12 days. I'm still trying to imagine myself going through the drive-thru and saying, "I would like ONE taco." Usually it's three.
