I also have UHC http://www.northsidebariatrics.com Dr. Paul Macik is just the best Dr ever!!! He is not a big talker but he will answer any and all questions. I had my surgery at north side hospital they were so great with me. I hope this helps some.

Omg I am so ready to sleep normal again! I can't sleep well on my back and my but goes to sleep lol. How long did it take before any of you to sleep on your side or tummy??

Great to know! I tried and slept last night on my side! Felt great lol!

Day 7 post op got to eat some tators today went well! I mixed them with chicken broth to give them some flavor.

So tomorrow I get to add new foods yay! Day 7 here I come!

Okay I must say first breath! Lol it is okay to feel so many ways. You will have to work in your head hunger and that might take some time but you can do it. We tend to take out stuff on the people we love and are close to the most. Just remember you will do just fine you made this choice for a reason and u have to remember why it is you did it. I'm not sure why so many people don't want others to know about surgery. I think everyone in my life knows I had it and they all have been talking to me and there for me. So maybe it's not such a bad thing that people know. I take stuff out on my hubby too sometimes but we never go to bed mad! Just always know he has and will be there for you! I hope I have helped a little bit I'm not a good typer I'm more of a talker! Good luck

Yes I feel this way to sometimes. I get up and walk and most of the time it's gas.

Hey I only had to do a 1 day liquid the day before surgery and "clean" myself out too. The two weeks before I had to be on a 0-20 carb a day diet. I had surgery 3/7 post op has not been as bad as I thought. My doc said I was off duty for 14 days after. It has not been hard to do only liquids after. I do not feel hungry nor feel the want for food. I drink my protein shakes 2-3 times a day, and drink 25-36 oz of clear liquids a day. I have ate jello and pudding also. The only pain I have had was GAS bubble after surgery. I have been walking everyday he said to walk 30mins a day. Good luck and I hope all goes well

I too am a tummy sleeper I am day 5 post op and have a very hard time falling asleep on my back. I have been sleeping with like 5 pillows under my back and head. I started last night and placed a pillow under the left side of my tummy and lay on my side for a few.

Thanks I know it will be hard work and I am truly ready for it! I am looking forward to my life journey.

I am 3 days out mine was march 7th. Doing great so far.
