Woohoo! Got sleeved on Monday, feeling pretty good today. Monday I was pretty much out of it the rest of the day. Every day since has gotten better. I came home yesterday (with a stupid JP drain - I hate it). I am on full liquids now. So far, everything is great. I am expecting some not so great days, but right now, I havent had any yet. YAY!!!!!

So glad to hear you are home and fairing pretty well!

I asked my doctor for no drain tube because I am allergic to latex and he agreed -No Tube for me! I was so glad not to have to deal with that thing. Most people have similar experiences as you are having.

Concentrate on getting fluids in, walking, and resting!

Hugs

Congratulations! It will only get easier as long as you follow your doctors recommendations and not try to push your self into solids too quickly. Full liquids was easy for me, once I went into solids it took some adjustment to figure out my limits. My tip is to always use small food containers (4oz or 6 oz) so you do not over eat.... You will love the results!

Excited your recovery is going so well. Welcome to the losers bench!

hey my sleeve buddy. we made it!

Congrats Katmagmom and Samantha. Welcome to the losers bench. Yes, every day should be a little better. Until you are so freaking great you just don't know what to do with yourself.

I also was sleeved monday. Having a little more pain then I would like but hanging in there. I tried my protein shake today and that did not go well I think I found what the term sliming is an that,was only about 2oz so I am not getting much protein in at all an just getting in tiny sips.

I too had my sleeve monday, and now 4 days out I am having so much trouble getting all my fluids in but its getting easier. Never thought I would be happy about being welcomed to a losers bench, LOL. Just found this site tonight but so far its been very helpful to see I am not alone in some of my struggles.

Congrats to all of you!! Looking forward to joining y'all. :hippie:

Hoping your recovery continues to to go well. I get to join the loser's bench on Monday!
