Yay! I'm so glad that everything went well and you are recovering. :D

You know, it's funny, I don't usually have difficulty with my breathing coming out of surgery... I had two surgeries prior to my Lap Band surgery and my breathing both times upon coming out of anesthesia was flawless. BUT, when I woke from my band surgery, I had a bit of difficulty, some weezing, coughing, and I needed a quick breathing treatment. Very unusual for me. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that my surgeon messed with my diaphragm when he did my hernia repair? I don't know... :P Anyway, after the treatment, I was rocking my little spirometer, and I was fine so no biggie. :D

Nattering. I can do it. Keep us posted on how you're doing. :D

Everyone's different. If they don't feel that you need it, they probably won't give it to you. :D

They must feel that it is medically necessary that you stay another night. Just kick back and let them spoil you. You'll be home, soon enough. :)

      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.
