December 8th Sleevers......

[Cutepretty1 121]

@@tera1982 thank God I'm not having any issues with my intake but I tell you this sleeve is like a baby.....it wants to be fed and burped (walking). I was awake at 3am feeding on some sugar free Jello which helped calm the growling. I'm just praying and hoping that we are free of all complications. Not to mention I have a drain that won't get removed until next Wednesday and that area is causing me discomfort. I believe after I get the drain removed I will feel like a new woman. Are you taking your pain meds?

You went to the grocery store??? Wow--you're a rock star. I'm flat on my back still but I think by tomorrow I will be up more. Pain is much less today than yesterday. I ate some Campbell's Tomato Soup for lunch. It was warm and soothing.

Lol.....I'm not going anywhere until I get this drain removed. The Soup does sound good. I need to check my pantry.

I'm only taking about 3 cc of the pain meds because it's totally disgusting and makes me gag. So I only take it when I can't stand the pain. My drain wound is on my left and it's finally slowed down on the seepage. You guys giving yourselves the blood thinner shots?

Just was worried there! My surgeon does not leave a drain in, and my first thought was there was a complication. Good to know its routine!

I am on my way home. Full liquids for a week then I go back next Wednesday to get the drain removed. I hope you ladies get to go home soon.

Yikes! Drain? Is that normal?

For my doctor it is. He leaves a drain in for a week. It is a surgeon's preference. I am really having to learn this sleeve I drank too much too soon and feeling like crap.

I'm not taking any pain meds as I haven't had too much pain just discomfort where the drain is more so irritating the heck out of me. My seepage from the drain has decreased as well. I wasn't given any meds for blood thinning to take home. I was given heparin shots during my stay in the hospital. I pray and hope for complication free events.

I just tried to eat lunch and it did not go well. Terrible indigestion and feeling like everything is sitting in my chest. I obviously was overzealous and went to big, too fast. Lesson learned!

Well, that sounds like a common theme today! That's three of us !

You guys giving yourselves the blood thinner shots?

I did the shots for 7 days. 40cc each, HUGE to me!

What did you try to eat? I tried some Soup that I strained and had four spoonfuls and was done it was heavily diluted with Water too.
