Just an update... I checked in twice tonight on petraluxor. Both times she was asleep... Hoping that is a good sign. Please send prayers for her... She had a really rough 1st day of recovery. I'm staying positive that she wakes up feeling better. :)

I've always been told and lived it that the second day is the worse not the easiest day! After that it'll be better!

Seems like things are better. We all managed through the swallow tests. Yucky stuff though. Got our dvd's and I cant wait to watch. And they removed drains. Can't wait to check out and go to the recovery house. And do some shopping. Retail therapy is always good!

Retail therapy is a cure all.

Finally chiming in here. Charissa, I am so sorry I didn't get to see you and the others before I left. What time did you guys leave? I think I left around 2:00 pm. Now at hotel which is lovely and very clean. Will post pics when I get home. Not leaving till Tuesday. Decided to stay an extra night here. Glad we all got through everything okay. My tummy is sore, sore, sore but I feel sooooo much better than I did yesterday. Thanks for checking on me and for posting updates here. And to everyone reading here, Charissa I truly believe Charissa has had the easiest recovery ever.

Oh, and I am finding it very hard to get in liquids pretty much just like everyone else seems to report. Could barely get down 6-7 tablespoons of chicken broth. Working on apple juice right now and it's slow going.

I know... I came to tell you bye and your room was empty. :( I'm so sad you had such a rough time but really glad to hear your feeling so much better. Fluids are slow going here too but keep up your meds and SIP SIP SIP and walk walk walk. Keep me posted and have a safe trip home. I fly out today at 335. Did some shopping with Dedria in rosarita yesterday evening and went to the pharmacy. We are going to go shopping in San Diego today before our flight home. I feel so very blessed to have such a wonderful recovery. I just hope it stays this way. Take care girl... Your gonna be a new person and be so happy with your decision!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
