I had 3 glasses of wine this weekend. I was sleeved 8/19. Didn't bother me' date=' but did make me sleepy like above poster mentioned.

My nut said 4-6 weeks.[/quote']

Was that 3 glasses all the same day?

Good grief no!

I was sleeved 8/28/13 and I'm still tired I still need a nap.. How long did it take you August sleeves to be back 100% or are you too still in recovery? Did y'all terry strips fall off yet or are they still on as well?

It took me 4wks to feel 100% and be able to go back to the gym.

Lol, I was gonna say.

I stated soft foods today. I was so tired of liquids.

I was sleeved 8/26 and the last of my strips feel off today. I don't feel like I have to nap (since week 1) but I wouldn't say I have all my energy back either. I have been walking 2 miles a day per drs orders but I couldn't do more than that yet because I do feel so tired. I do go to bed a lot earlier than I used to so that probably makes up for the lack of naps!

I think everybody is different, like everything. I was really never tired. My mom had to remind me to stay still "you just had surgery" she said.. And she wouldn't let me do anything, I love her. I didn't really nap at all.

The hardest day for me, of course, was day 1. Other than that it's been unbelievably easy. No pain, a little nausea rarely though. I went swimming for the first time yesterday and stationary bike felt good, I was a little tired after that.

My surg was on 8/27.

I'm a nurse, it's my 2nd week back at work and it's ok. So grateful that things had been working out this way. I was expecting a harder recovery but I'm not complaining. SO BLESSED!!

Sending everyone good positive vives

Well I don't feel tired at all sleeved on 8/29. The strips are coming off on their own and I think I have one left to come off.

Is anyone a stomach sleeper? If so are you back to sleeping on your stomach and if so how long did it take you to be able to sleep on your stomach
