Had Surg Monday 2-6, I Can Drink Just Fine! Kinda Scary!

[mommy794 119]

I have been able to eat ice chips the 1st day, started clears the 2nd day and have had NO problems. Of course I can only drink about 2 oz at a time but it doesn't hurt me. Today I took a shower put on make up and went to town with hubby, ran a couple of errands and went to Luby's he ate chicken fried steak of course and I got a cup of Soup and sipped a few spoonfulls of the broth. I'm just afraid of somehow accidentally hurting myself! that's the scary part!

I'm feeling pretty good over all just still pretty sore so I have been walking laps around my driveway and like today walked in petco and my driveway. I go to the Dr. Tues. to get this dang drain out and check up...but I just wanted to get some input on here...thanks guys!

You are healing great!! I healed pretty fast too(had my sleeve done on jan 25th) I have had no nausea or vomiting or anything the whole time. I took liquids fine,except of course,not being able to fit more than a couple ozs in my sleeve at a time. As long as you aren't trying to put things in your new sleeve that aren't supposed to be there yet,I wouldn't worry about accidentally hurting yourself. My doc told me to walk as much as I could but to rest when needed too. No lifting,pushing,pulling over 15 lbs. Congrats on your sleeve!!!! =)) PS-I found it really important to continue with the gas x chewables and prilosec for gas pain and heartburn. The gas pain is the worst out of everything in my opinion.

Good to hear all is progressing well. Keep up the good work and it is OK to baby your sleeve, it's what we are supposed to do! lol.

Thanks for all your help! I just get worried that I mite cause a leak, I'm taking it slow and easy though and trying to make sure I don't drink too much too fast. Thanks again, it just feels good to say it's DONE and I'm on the mend

I did fine as well. Imagine the amount of liquids you'll be able to digest once the swelling goes down :biggrin:

I felt normal after day three. Happy sleeving!

[mommy794 119]

Cool bc I do like to drink Water and tea all day at work! I don't go back til the 3rd but I'm glad I don't have to worry about getting dehydrated. I just don't want to spring a leak from drinking too much

I think if you listen to your sleeve for cues of fullness,you will be fine. I'm sure you're drinking slowly,yea? I was VERY worried about a leak when I could drink alot. I had a bit of pain too so I freaked out and had my surgeon order xrays and a ct scan lol. I was fine

[mommy794 119]

I seem fine, yesterday started having these almost menstral type cramps where my stomach is/was...comes in waves twinges 3-4 times then gone again. It's almost like it's contracting down or peristalsis is starting??? anyone else feel this? other wise I feel fine and nothing else has changed or is new...just this...maybe my stomach is waking up???

_{Hm could be. I've heard of some ppl having a bit of spasms in their sleeves,especially when they drink cold stuff.}

I feel like I can drink to much to fast too. I try to take baby sips but, it's habit. It just goes down so quick. I scare to spring a leak too. At the hospital they gave me a bunch of 1 oz cups (like you use to measure medicine) to use to measure Water. I guess I better start using them. They use them to make sure you get enough in but, maybe it's to keep from driinking to much to fast too.

Sounds like you are on your way! I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. I am very excited and a little scared. I remain positive and know this is a life changing as well as saving issue for me. I have been reading some of the blogs , most seem positive. I hope all goes well. I am so ready for this step in the journey!
