Each day was a little different but on average each day was between 1-2 oz. the interesting thing was the consistency/ color.. Each day it got lighter/ more clear. By the time the day came to get it taken out at the dr. Office it's was really clear and only lightly tinted red.. It felt like worm with pressure when the dr pulled it out.

I had my drain for a week as well.. I could wear a bra my surgeon put the incisions in the perfect spots:) I had to empty it twice a day and record the fluid:) drains are a good thing.. It helps get rid of excess fluid in you abdomen

Sleeved June 11th
Prettynpink1982 replied to bigjim77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got that same feeling... I explained that feeling to my surgeon and she told me it was because I am drinking too fast or too much at one time.. So slow down and take smaller sips.. She said also that your stomach is narrow so you may be full when you feel that tightness... -
