    Packing for hospital

    I am taking 2 pairs of my super comfy yoga pants that aren't too tight in the tummy and some t-shirts (I refuse the hospital gown!!) I HAVE to take my laptop because guess what?!?!? I have a small business final the 11th (surgery day) or I can take it on the 12th. I don't sleep well in the...

    Too good to be true

    I know the feeling. I have been working on everything since the beginning of May and now that its around the corner it seems like a dream. Just be prepared for surgery even though it would SUCK if they got you all hyped up and then insurance denied but then again if they do approve you are ready...

    Vitamins

    I am worried about leaking or popping a stich. I have to re-up my vitamins tomorrow so I will probably take the vitamins I have for the pre-op diet and will savor them for all they are worth!!! LOL! Then go to liquid for post-op

    Vitamins

    the nutritionist said that they prefer patients to take bariatric chewables but they don't taste good so OTC are fine for pre-op and 2 weeks post-op but after that to take bariatric vitamins because of the way they digest or something.

    Getting Frusterated

    lol that pretty much sums it up. I know I will need smaller clothes and I am just itching to buy some lol. I have been stalking sales on various websites and stores. If I find a cute pair of jeans or a cute top for $5-6 that's a few sizes smaller Im getting it.

    I will probably get liquid anyway just because the gummies I have have a weird aftertaste.

    12 days and a wake up.. Reality hit home today.

    I hate using my PTO also!!! I live about 50-60 miles from Houston so I do my best to knock out as much as possible while I am there but next week I have my hospital registration and my pre-op appointment on Tuesday and then my son has his 9 month check up on Friday in the morning. I used all of...

    Getting Frusterated

    I think the frustration is because I know that I just have 27 days until my surgery and I am getting antsy. I think I might buy some stuff in smaller sizes because I bought clothes that fit before I got pregnant and they are already too big. If I put anything in my jeans pockets they start...

    New to Group, need help!

    Everyone at work is very supportive but I am not advertising it. I know the feeling of living in a rural area (somewhat) and I have to drive about 60 miles to get to my surgeons office. So I try to get as much done when I am there as possible. Good luck on your hoop jumping. Sometimes it really...

    Skin?

    I hate the batwings I have now. The tummy and batwings will be the first to go but they said they normally do it in 2 stages the tummy and inner thighs and then the breast and batwings.
