So I weigh less than 200!!!! FINALLY! I am so extremely happy. I lost 7.6 lbs this week alone, thanks to a stomach bug I got from a band student. I was rather concerned about the whole throwing up/ diarrehia. I didn't want to get dehydrated so I mostly drank propel all d.ay. I was also concerned with what I could take for the normal sicknesses. So I really didn't take any medicine. It was odd and totally not prepared for the change in what I am allowed to take when I get sick. We all take for granted that we have meds in the cabinet to solve any issue. Well, I figured out very quickly that I didn't take it into consideration. We all know not to take asprin products for colds, headaches and such but I was not aware that Pepto has asprin in it. I am glad I didn't take any....because I thought about it!!! After the 8th hour of being in the bathroom. I am just glad I didn't take any because I really would not have taken the time to read the contents label at that point. So valuable lesson learned...READ THE LABEL ON ALL MEDS....BEFORE YOU MIGHT NEED THEM. I have since checked out my medicine cabinet to make sure that what I would NORMALLY take for illness is ok to take after having surgery. And I did find other stuff that is not ok to take. So again everyone...READ THE LABELS NOW! So you don't get caught off guard like I was.
