October Sleevers - Who else

[back2barb78 890]

Sleeved this past Monday 10/07/13' date=' released yesterday. Moderate discomfort, walking in uncomfortable but a must, love my Percocet, and trying to stay on top of drinking. Kept an extra day for not taking in enough Fluid which I'm finding hard to do. Incisions look great. [/quote']

My sites are in different places- one on each side of my belly button, one teeny one just at my bra line in the center of my upper abdomen where they said the liver retractor was, one to the far left of my abdomen, and my JP drain right next to it. They all have dermabond on them and the JP has steri strips on it they put on yesterday.

I was sleeved Oct.8. Feeling okay...not a lot of pain. I am just so tired right now. I am suppose to return to work on Monday, and right now I don't see how I can do it.

I didn't start feeling normal until at least 5 days out. I'm 9 days out right now and I'm just getting an ok amount of energy back. If you have to take an extra day off work, do it. Or maybe ask for a half day. Take care of yourself first

I had my surgery the 3rd and went back to work the 8th. I should have taken another day because I left early. Past few days I am ok till afternoon then I get real drained. Today I am real tired and weak and stomach bothering me a bit. I can't wait to eat some real food and hopefully get some energy back!

Hello my wonderful Oct Sleevers!!!! My surgery is scheduled for Oct 22 and I'm currently doing my 2wk liquid pre-ops. Can I just tell you I'm 5 days in and this plain SUCKS! I know this is somehting I have to do and is for my own good, but OMG.

Anywho... the first few days (Mon-Wed) I was only able to get 2 shakes down and I had maybe 3 tablespoons of veggies. I needed that chewing motion badly. Please tell me that that is is all normal and that I'm not the only one that this has happened to..?? Thurs was the first day I was able to actually do shakes for Breakfast, lunch and dinner and it looks like today will be another successful day. Other liquids include Water, non-calorie drinks (crystal light), broth and Jello.< /span>

How much weight is expected to be lost..? Ive heard 10-20lbs from my Dr's office. I havent weighed myself, but I feel lighter and my clothes are fitting better.

Thanks for all your input and encouragement!!

Getting my drain out was a big relief, a lot of pressure removed from my stomach. It feels better when it's out, I promise!
