October Sleevers - Who else

[back2barb78 890]

How do u post pics. I cant serm to find it

It depends on what type of device your on. You may see a + sign or "advanced" option on your screen or some type of button at the top or bottom when you go to write a comment. If you're talking about your main picture you may just have to tap/click on the empty box (again it depends on your device) and add then. Just click on the random buttons you see and I'm sure you'll find it

Mine had been 8 days- used ducolax suppository' date=' worked like a charm! Perhaps TMI but when you fell nauseated all the time like I did still, it was truly the best option!

I didn't have to have anything, you're not getting much solid food in. I started having gas/flatus about 3 days out; so as a Registered Nurse I knew I was okay. Took about a week before I hand a very small BM. Hope this helps.

I have a teaspoon of Benefibre in my Breakfast Protein Drink, and another in my bed time drink. Does the job (!) perfectly :-)

My date was October 15. I've lost 17 lbs since then (256 to 239). I've been out of work the whole time, and I go back on Monday -- so I'll get some feedback for sure!

Need to shop this weekend: I cleaned out my closet this week, and only have ONE pair of pants and ONE suit for work!!!

Ok so i had he surgery today. Mouth is KKKKerrazzy dry. Teeth sticking to my lips, something's gotta give. Driving me bananas. Have already gone through 4 cups of ice chips and walked around the floor 3X.

sleeping on and off. I see 4 incisions The one that my stomach was pupped through is very very swollen.

I had lost 10.8 lbs pre-op but on one of my walking rounds, we found a scale. I am 9 lbs heavier!

had surgery today too..dry everything as ell, but was kinda prepared for this. No ice chips just Water swabs to keep me from completely losing my mind. I'm so sluggish..

[ejsfanatic 98]

Congrats to you!! Sluggish or sleepy? Whatever they gave me in recovery is knocking me right out. I can fall out on a dime. I have been getting up and going to the restroom alone and will be able to walk alone too!

Congrats how are you feeling?? I have had 4 cups of ice chips and have walked around the floor about 7 times already.
