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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
