Because I am the most sensitive sleeper in the world I loved having an eye shield and ear plugs with me.  I also would not have lived without my chapstick.

Good luck,

Edie

btw, why are you going open and not laprascopically?

Topic: when do they test for Nicotine?
I assume Nicorette gum will show up on the blood test so I need to chew regular gum but don't really know how long it takes to be out of my system and I asked the receptionist WHEN do they test for it and she just said when you come for your first appointment for the physical they will tell you. So you go for a physical then meet surgeon then 3rd appt with surgeons coordinator for more tests and labs. Can someone just tell me at what appt do they test for it. Thanks

Tari, the ice will melt and shouldn't bother your stomach, bu****ch out for what it can do to your teeth.

Congratulations on being 'normal'! Does wii fit think the rest of us are abnormal, I wonder?

Always the best wishes, Sue

Tari,   Woo Hoo!  Congratulations on being normal.

Just wanted to mention craving ice is a symptom of low iron so you might want to check that out.

Topic: RE: Coffee question

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for responding to me about this coffee question.  I still haven't broken down yet and bought one, but I'm leaning more in to doing it!!  :)   I love coffee.  Now that I know I can have regular coffee (just have to drink more water those days) I am just about ready to go purchase one!!  LOL

God Bless you all,
Tari

Hi Joanne!!
Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!  I bet you are getting all those emotions rolling around in ya!!  I know I did!! 
I am trying to remember what I brought with me, but I can't remember everything.  But I do remember being happy I brought with me a night gown to put on after surgery and my mp3 player.  I felt more comfy in my own night gown and I used my mp3 player all night because I really couldn't sleep much.  I didn't bring slippers which I was going to, but they put these really warm slipper socks on me that worked just great.  They gave me a pack of tolitries, which was nice. 
I didn't bring a different outfit to put on after, I just wore the same outfit that I came to the hospital in. 
I can't remember anything else right now.  LOL
But, I sure want to wish you luck for your surgery!!
God Bless,
Tari

Topic: I'm normal ~ LOL

Hi all,
I haven't been online all week ~ no school for my hubby on Tuesday due to the mega snow we got, and then he got the 24 hour flu Tuesday night and sick Wednesday, so no school!!  So, I am finally getting online this week tonight!!  LOL

Anyways, I do the wii fitness and when I got on it Tuesday to work out, it told me I am no longer overweight!! I am in the normal category now!!  YAY!!  I weighed 147 Tuesday morning.  Feeling great!!

I have a question for you all:  I can't remember if it's ok or not, but can we chew on ice?  I am graving it all the time now.  I will get a water bottle almost frozen in freezer and then cru**** and chew on the ice pieces.  And, when we are at the college, I get a huge cup of ice (the small pieces) and just chew on them.  Is it ok? 

Thanks all,
God Bless,
Tari
