December sleeves 2016

Well I have a total of 6 lap sites. The biggest scar I have is located on my left side( not directly under my breast that was just to give an idea where sure was)

. My upper left quadrant of my abdomen is most sore and I figured that it's most sore due to the stomach is located in the upper left quad of abdomen. So, since I saw that scar was the longest incision and it is the most sore, I assumed that is where they pulled the part of the stomach that was removed from that site. I did not have a drain . So, that's what the incision under my left breast is????. quote name="ambernoel" post="4341250" timestamp="1481316069"]

Omg, you are doing great. I can only sleep on My side. It hurts sleeping on my back. I have lost 7 lbs in 4 days but dang you are killing it.

I was sleeved on 12/1. I left the hospital on 12/3 sore but with very little pain. Today I feel great! Last night I was finally able to sleep on my side, lol. As of today (8 days in) I've lost 16 pounds!! So far, this is looking like the best decision I've ever made....

Is anyone having issues with getting all your liquids in?

I def am. My surgeon told me don't become obsessed with that this first week because there is so much swelling and the second week will be easier. I'm trying my best but it's hard. quote name="NicoleR79" post="4341369" timestamp="1481323698"]

Mine told me the same thing but I'm getting freaked out after reading the horror stories on here about people having to be readmitted because of dehydration...

We are not claiming that and everyone is different. We are gonna do what we can until our swelling goes down some. Keep you some sugar free pop sickles as well to help with hydration. It helps me a lot and it's a nice lil treat to me. We got this!

Dec 1st here! My only real difficulty is the gas pain, but gas x is my friend. I am learning to ignore the smells of my family members' food options....I try to eat my creamy broths at the same time. I'm 1 day into full liquids. I wear socks on my hands at night so that I don't scratch my itchy scabs. And I'm up to 15 mins walking per day! 1 week, 15lbs down. No regrets

I was also sleeved yesterday. Having stomach spasms but doing okay so far. I am in Juarez. They are super here.

Congrats!!! How does a stomach spasm feel? Every time I drink something I have to burp. I'm hoping this too shall pass. But other than that just soreness and still a little gas pain. I'm day 4 post op. I'm doing better than what I thought I was gonna do, all glory goes to God for that and for him blessing me with an awesome surgeon.

I had my surgery on Tuesday Dec. 6. I came home Thursday and I'm recovering so much better at home. My only pain is from the largest incision site (where the stomach is removed) and major headaches. My surgery was performed with the Divinici robot so I have 6 incisions. I can't stand broth but dealing with it and I'm loving Jello

Sleeved on weds 12/7, home the next day. Walked a mile on my treadmill tonight. I have not had any pain, just some discomfort from the gas but nothing much. Had a terrible time dishing up dinner for my kids tonight. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Ugh!! Keeping my sights on those full liquids next week!! LOL
