O! I agree, I am going to follow the diet, but doctor's diet didn't include peach juice that they gave us at the hospital.... Does it mean it's ok to have it.... Or not? I seem to have an aversion to sertain smells..... And broth is one of them. I had some yesterday but I didn't enjoy it. I don't feel hungry or thirsty so it's hard to convince myself to eat (well, in our case drink) anything other than water and ice chips..... The great thing .... I went from 278 to 252! At this rate i'll be size 12 in no time, lol.

How many vitamins are you taking? Did you start taking the vitamins that still look too big to swallow or r u waiting on those? I have some fish oil and biotin that I am waiting on... They just look so big ....

It took forever, but we are finally home
That wall mart is great! And I really liked walking there, felt great to be moving again! That little juice box was so good so when I got to airport I bought a bigger one "Naked" mango Smoothie and spent all day with it. I was kinda surprised (and glad) that we didn't have to do strictly clear liquid. I think I miss color, lol. I was surprised just how long it takes me to finish something (that Smoothie lasted for day and a half)... In the past it would have been 5 min. Lol.
I tried clear soup yesterday and no go. But today I kinda enjoyed my clear chicken soup. So that's good. How long are you going to stick with liquid diet? When r u planning to add shakes? Do we count week from surgery or discharge?

How are you doing? I hope you're doing fine!

Congrats on the surgery! Welcome to a truly fantastic journey

Lily,congratulations to you as well!

cograts!glad to know your doing well!

Yes, all is well here. Thanks to the obvious pain killers I've been getting there's been no pain at all. I've had no problem walking, getting out of bed, or going to the bathroom which is different from the c-sections. Glad you are doing well too. Take care of yourself on your flight tomorrow, and let me know how you are doing once you are home.

LOL! I know! I ended up taking one sleeping pill and one pain pill and got really good sleep. Also, Kristina gave me gel that's anti-gas and anti-acid! It tastes great and works better than gas x. I bought a whole box to take home with me. .... But all this is for tomorrow! Today you will be on a ton of pain killers! 1st day is actually easy, at least for me it was..... Sure, it was my fault, I should have asked for more pain killers.... But ... Oh, well. Take care of yourself! Talk to u soon!

Good luck on your big day tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers will be with you! Can't wait for my big day to come.

I felt pretty good yesterday, no pain what so ever. Today is somewhat harder as I opted not to have any pain meds.. So I can deffinetly feel gas pains. But otherwise, I am still doing great. Walked all day. Compare to my c-session this is nothing, I can get off the bed with no paid. I will be leaving tomorrow as you get here, so i asked Jessica to let me meet you,she said ok! So have a good night, get lots of rest and in will see you tomorrow!

Thanks! I honestly feel much better than I anticipated. I have no pain (probably due to good schedule)' but every so often I feel like I might throw up. So I ask for extra medication. Tomorrow I am starting on ice (how exciting)!
Good night!

You are right! I am just being a little too emotional! See you soon!

wishing you and your family a happy healthy holdiay =)

I had the same feeling about Thanksgiving but as my father-in-law said I felt alot better Thanksgiving night than the rest of them. I was on full liquid diet. It was'nt the easiest thing I have ever done my hubby and I just stayed home I felt bad for my kids(older with families)so they went else where but none the less I felt bad proably more for myself. But I made it through and you will at christmas also. I am finally off of full liquids tomarrow. I know where Elko is and have been there a few time to Wendover a few also. I do like Dr. Richards Idea of the help afterwards so take advantage if you can. Best wishes and good luck on your new journey.

I had my sirgery with Dr. Christina Richards, I had my surgery 12 days algo and am feeling wonderful. From what I have read on this blog Dr. Almanza is pretty amazing also. I had insurance that covered my surgery so I had mine here. But I also think my surgeon was pretty good also. The only thing was I only seen her once the whole time I was in the process of getting to surgery day and that was back in April when I started this journey it took me that long for ins. than I did not see her again till; the day of surgery, although that was proable my fault I guess I could have scheduled an app. with her but they have alot of people in the office working for them. (Good or bad I do't know).But I had my surgery everything went well, What part of NV are you from? I am from Wellsville Ut.
