Good morning , Hope all has a great IP day I will be having my Hysterectomy today  I'm a lil nervous, I've never had a major surgery before.
Has anyone had surgery before on IP and did the anesthesia slow things down?

Good morning everybody!
It feels like ages since I was on the board and it was really just Friday. I had a great weekend at the dulcimer festival. Great to be back home though. I ended up getting drive-through food, so it was quite a splurge, but now I'm so looking forward to home-made, healthy, delicious food again.
Mooselover: you are beautiful !!!
Violet: that recipe sounds great - I love mint and cilantro...
Cadu: once you get your dulcimer, you have to seek out dulcimer festivals. There is such a great community of players and often there are workshops for all levels of experience. Nothing like playing with others...
Now I have to come back down to earth and do those last few things on my list to get the house finished... My inspiration is now that if....I can get the house sold, bills paid off, etc., I can save for a steel drum, a baritone psaltery, a silver Irish whistle and a baritone dulcimer. That, and the funds to create a CD. 
Hope everybody has a terrific, OP, inspiring Monday !!!
PS: am looking through the thread for the weekend and there are so many great photos of progress and support and inspiration. You folks are awesome. It is a joy to come here.

Happy Monday all!
I made a cake for my office (June birthdays) and it looks good....but some other year I will eat cake. Today I will stay OP and look forward to being thin.
Has anyone tried the Extra gum in Key lime pie and Orange creme pop flavors?
I have a half piece at times I just need some extra will power. So helpful & delish!

I had surgery in April and as they were getting ready to hook up the saline solution, I asked if it had any sugar in it. I didn't think it ever did, and they said yes it does. What a surprise, I'm not in a medical field so this sort of thing is not something I would know. Honestly, was a little surprised the question even popped out of my mouth - but how lucky for me that I did ask - not sure what prompted me to even ask. They wanted to know why, had to talk it over with the doctor and came back and said no problem. They then used a no sugar added saline solution. It did spark a conversation with my surgeon and anesthesiologist about IP and the nurses were hanging on, interested in hearing about IP.
I did eat an extra packet or two a couple days before and a couple days after. I was told your body needs extra energy to heal. It didn't derail me at all. Talk to your coach about it.
Good luck with it!

I know one other person who is on the boards had some kind of surgery or was in the hospital for something...they gave IV fluid and they asked about whether there was sugar in it...I can't remember when I'll keep you in my prayers today for a speedy recovery!

I kept my water with me and drank a lot but boy was it a tough day. I was also carting totes up and down the stairs to get some of our old baby toys out to put in the baby's room. is this what it will feel like if I start doing more exercise?

I know if I'm working outside and getting hot I need SALT super bad. Your body sweats it out and then you develop some sort of electrolyte imbalance. If your coach agrees, I'd say drink something like Powerade Zero or Propel zero, they have sodium I believe, but 0/0/0 otherwise (I can confirm Propel zero is flavored with sucralose, hooray!)
