All sleeved!

Thanks for the support, everyone!  I had surgery Monday, and I went home a day or so ago.  Everything was textbook fine which shocked me, because my last surgery wound up with me getting MRSA, put on a wound vac, and hospitalized for quite some time.  

I was panicking because I was able to get decent liquid and protein in finally.  Yesterday (the day I came home) not so much.  Today was 67.2 oz of liquid and 51g protein.  Rare nausea and pain.  I have a phone timer that dings every 4-5 minutes to remind me to take a sip.  Yes... I am neurotic, heh.  If I don't do it I find myself drinking too fast and then it is extremely uncomfortable.  I'm kind of worried it is this easy now because I'm terrified of over drinking and getting a leak, but I am being very cautious.

I would not have been able to do this without all of you.  Thank you very much!

Congrats on your new sleeve! I'm glad things are going well for you.

I found that drinking 2 oz of water every 15 minutes worked  very well for me the first several weeks post op. That's only a 1/4 cup every 15 minutes. You can set your timer to ring every 15 minutes which might be less, shall we say, Neurotic - to use your word! ;-)

I am just letting you know I totally stole your idea, Kairk!  It's so much less annoying.  

I'm just afraid of damaging the sleeve.  Can we even damage it drinking too much?  I assume discomfort would kick in long before that.  Maybe not.  I'm not gonna risk it.
