C I am so excited for you. You are going to do great!

WYD Yeah that would be gross for me, so I am sure it is double gross for a man.

HP, yikes snakes is right. Probably a good thing Mr. BG was not with me though. He certainly would have unleashed his inner sissy girl.

Well the itty bitty head ache became a Migraine. I've had worse, like I didn't have to go to the hospital this time. What a mess. I live a fully scheduled life and I don't have time for the innterrupptions. -gawd, that's really wrongly spelled- but I don't care. Needless to say, I did not ride. I would have been chuckin' on the side of the trail.

My dog got a friend's tampon out of the trash at my house once, she was mortified, the dog was pretty pleased with herself and her tastey treat.

Snakes creep me out, but worms are worse. I can't stand them, I can't fish, not like I have ANY desire to, but the night crawlers are GROSS!!!

ZZ,

I was told no ibuprofin because it's rough on the stomach. So I only do aceteminophen.

My baby's momma is a RT and talks about sputum being the butter on their bread. It' grosses me out to no end.

Hi guys and gals! Y'all have a good day? I'm all set for surgery tomorrow! YAY!!!!! I am SSSOOOOOO excited!

ZZ: Ibuprofen can literally 'burn' a hole in your stomach or esophagus. It's very important that you drink a lot of Water when you take it to ensure that it actually goes down. It can get stuck to the sides and wreak havoc. Because you can't guzzle water with a Band, it increases your risk of ulcerations. Most docs say no more NSAIDS at all...so really pay attention to what you're taking unless your doc says otherwise.

Yay C!! You're going to have the best day ever tomorrow!!! Ahh, all the free drugs... Lol.

Thanks for the info on ibuprofen. I took tylenol today... which doesn't do shit for me. I'm still in pain (low back) and my head is slamming. Lol. When I took ibuprofen I'd usually take it with some pudding to help it slide down. And then I'd drink Water. I can feel when solid things go through my band, it's a slight discomfort, so I'm pretty sure I don't currently have any holes in mu tummy.

I have been having some indigestion though, since my fill last week. It better not be too tight! Lol. I'm sooo not going in for an unfil. I;ll just live on TUMS until I figure it out.

I hit my 100+ mark at the doctir today as well, and I got my picture taken, and am not going back to see him until June 3....I will be right past my 1 year mark.I am setting some serious goals. But what was exciting is that I lost 22 lbs since I was there last month!!! WOHOOOOOOOOOOO

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
