I'm in the chat room all alone......

It's 9:37 am and I'm in the chat room all alone with my coffee. Anybody want to join me and chit chat on this cold Saturday Morning? I'll hang around for a while till I get to lonely and then I'll go watch Paula Dean. Margie

Ok, I hung around that cold empty room for 1 hour sipping on my way to strong coffee, hubby must have been 1/2 asleep when he made this pot. Anyway Paula is about to come on so I must retreat to my chair with my multi-berry proten smoothie and just enjoy the remainder of my morning. I have to get out today and do a little shopping. Seems I need smaller pants. It's a shame isn't it? me laughing all the way to Lane Bryant. I've gone from a 30/32 to now a 20. I feel like the witch on The Wizard of Oz. "I'M MELTING". OK enough idle chit chat. I'll check back in later and see who's hanging around. Margie

Oh Margie, I am sorry you sat there waiting all alone. I have been busy getting everything together before Tuesday gets here. I figure I can set a date and time when I am like 2 weeks post op. I woke up late because this cold kicked my butt all night long and I barely slept I think I was even delirious at one point. Because I was saying I will not be having the surgery because...... I am sat there realizing I was talking in my sleep. I felt fine not nervous or anything and I said yeah of course I am having my surgery and laid back down. lol Boy the subconscience (don't know how to spell that one) can really do a number on ya. lol But guess what I just had my cycle 14 days ago and I started spotting for 2 days now. I wonder if it stress because I am not worried or is it because I lost more weight and the estrogen is being released into my system from the fat. I just hope it stops by Tuesday it will be kind of messed up to have a pad and a catheter. Yuck. By the way I have a question. When you guys woke up from the surgery did you have a tube in your nose that went down to your tummy? I forgot to ask DVR. Hugs Cira who will be a BIG LOSER in 2 more days and one wake up! lol

I didn't have any tubes down my throat. I was wearing o2, but they had given that to me before i went under. Aime

Thank you Aime so much for responding. I am glad all that crap is out by the time I am awake. lol Hugs, Cira

Cira, I'm sure there are tubes down your throat up your nose and other places, but you are asleep before they are put in and out before you wake up. Margie

Good then that is fine with me!!! Someone in OH told me she woke up with a tube down her nose and that she was letting me know because doctors don't telly you that. I guess in her part it was a special cir****tance or her dr does it that way. Thank you for the information. Here I go for tubes up to the WAZOOOOOOOOO!! lol Hugs, Cira

Hey Cira! Just one more full day before you are a Loser!!! YAY!!! I did have tubes down my nose into my tummy when I woke up. They were in the first full day and they took them out the next morning. I really didn't even know they were there and it was a little uncomfortable when the nurse pulled them out but I guess all the meds I was on made it easier to tolerate. I think each doc is different but just wanted to share my experience with you. Mine was also Open RNY so I don't know if that makes a difference or if it was just my surgeon. You are in my thoughts and prayers for a quick surgery and easy recovery. Try to relax and take it easy over the next day, I know sleep will be difficult but try. The more rested you are on the day of surgery the better is is for you. My surgeon let me take a Tylenol PM the night before surgery and I am so glad he did...but I didn't have to do the bowel prep stuff because it was Open. All my best and I'll be thinking about you on Tuesday!!! (((((((Hugs)))))) ~Heather

Margie, Oooooooh, I'm sorry I didn't peek in earlier or I would have popped into chat. I took over 600 pictures last night at the retirement party so I've been weeding through them figuring out what to keep, what to toss, what to see if I can lighten up some, and how to fix some REALLY bad red eye. Two late nights in a row has kicked my butt big time. I got to bed about 1 a.m. and was up at 5:15 because I was wide awake. Now I'm wondering WHY I didn't go back to bed, but it's 1 p.m. and I need to shower and run some errands! I'll check back later, but the shower is calling me! Hugs, Mo
