Hi Rays - No real hobbies to suggest but a couple simple activities. When I need to keep my hands busy, I'll break out coloring books/crayons, a roll of bubble wrap (addicted to the stuff, hehe), or a deck of cards to shuffle. Simple, mindless activities but all work for me when I'm just watching a movie or something and my eating disorder is trying to convince me to have a snack.
I used to crochet I might try that again...I might be making lots of blankets lol. I like the coloring or paint by number etc

Yes, coloring is a wonderful idea. I was so happy when the new kind of adult coloring books came out, and you could use colored pencils and make beautiful renderings of images, suitable for framing. And because it's a coloring book, anyone can do it!
One of my favorite one of my favorite crafts is to make paper beads.
3 Ways to Make Paper Beads - wikiHow
Making paper beads is a great way to recycle junk mail, newspapers, or magazines. Paper beads are additionally inexpensive, attractive, and can be used in a multitude of projects. To either make beads from pre-designed paper or to design...m.wikihow.com
the best glue to use when you the best glue to use when you rolled these up is wallpaper paste. But I just make my own out of flour cornstarch and water, and boil it until it is somewhat thickened. Then I put the entire piece of paper in the glue and Roll It on a skinny crochet hook or knitting needle. Sometimes I don't make triangles but just make rectangles which I put over a thicker bead and these I call pictorials. I do this so that I can take tiny little faces and eyes and stuff which makes very interesting jewelry.
It's actually it's actually a pretty time-consuming process. I usually can't make more than 50 beads an hour. But once I have a few thousand, I can string them on regular kite string or cotton twine and turn them into a beaded curtain. It's quite beautiful.

thank you dianeseattle I will have to try the paper bead thingy sounds interesting
Did they give you any zofran (ondansteron)? You could try using that 15 min prior to drinking anything and see if that helps. If that doesn’t work or they didn’t prescribe that and you can’t keep fluids down, you should call your surgeon, bc you don’t want to get dehydrated.
