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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
