Danikagold 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Whooo Whoooo! This place is FUNKY! Thanks guys. Everything was smooth as butta. (sorry had to) I had to get seasick patch on the side of my neck becuase I felt so woosy. I think what is really hurting is the gas pains in front, sides, shoulders and back. The most comfortable position is standing. My husband bought me some sippy cups bc I was drinking my Water too fast and that seems to be working. Very proud of myself for my pre-op diet (starvation) dedication. I didn't cheat once. Not a crumb. Not a sip. Not a lick. I lost 15 pounds! **Funny Story** I was just barely waking up today after surgery and they brought my husband in. I pulled him near and faintly said to him, "I was dreaming. We were ponies." It hurt to laugh, but him and the nurses thought it was so damn funny. My husband and I have this long-standing saying that we stole from Susan off Desperate Housewives. Hilarious to us, sorry if you didn't think that was funny, you may have needed to be there. =) -Staci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minock 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Staci You are awesome. Here I am at the end of day 2 of the pre-op diet and my stomach is rumbling. No cheats yet. It sure makes me feel good to see that you did the whole pre-op diet w/o a crumb, sip or lick. You have inspired me. One day at a time! Cindy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danikagold 0 Posted February 15, 2008 WTG Minock, keep up the good work. You CAN DO IT! Thanks again everyone. I am feeling great today. I am off to find a new protien shake becuase for two more weeks I have that and Clear liquids only. My EAS drink makes me want to BARF! Angie, I didn't realize we were born-again, or should i say "Band-again" on the same day. That is great. How are you doing? I think i will go read some of your posts to check up on you. =) -staci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
