Hi all, in a stomach sleeper and I just got sleeved on 9/14. I'm finding it hard to sleep on my back and sides and my back aches constantly. How long until you can or did you sleep on your stomach again?
-
Stomach sleepers.

Thank you everybody. I will give it try tonight. I need some sleep. ???? -
Oh no. So sorry you had that experience. I almost had an experience thank goodness it went away. It's hot here in California so bobcats hey mouth being dry, and I go to drink ice Water a but too much and too fast. Not a good combo. I need to get used to sipping. I am having trouble sleeping. I usually sleep in my stomach and sleeping on my back is not working. I've been up since 3:00am. New things to get used to.

Jewels34, my bad. I should proof read my messages. I meant mushy /pureed foods. I stated today. I had yogurt. I've never wanted yogurt so bad. Lol.
-
Yes, diarrhea here too. I didn't have a full bm until my 5 th day post op. That worried me. I added fiber to my broths and that worked a little. I start nudge foods today. In excited that I can have yogurt.

Congrats J170. My surgery was at 8:00am that same day. How are you feeling?

Tomorrow is the big day!

Just take deep breaths to get over the anxiety. After sugary tomorrow just walk, walk, walk. The more you walk the lass pain and faster you heal. When you are laying there in that bed and you feel like not walking because of the pain or tiredness just do it, get up and do a round or two. You will feel so much better after. -
Congrats meshelle920!!! You got this.
-
Maybe he is just scared and that's how he is s dealing with it. I know it's not an excuse maybe insight. Like meshelle920 said you have to do it for you. Burg my parents have passed so I told my Aunt, her only concern was will you be able to eat at Thanksgiving? Lol. Really Hang in there. You have a support group right here thought we cannot be there in person we are there in Internet spirit.

Hey it's good to hear things are getting better fit everyone. I'm still in the clear liquid diet until Tuesday then poured foods. I can't wait. Jennolsen I tried the Isopure , I ended up liking the cocituen a lot better so I'm supplementing my broth meals with that. Still get tired but was able to get out of the house a couple of times. In California it's really hot right now so it's nice to get dress hair in the evening.

I'm getting in 24 ounces of Water and I'm also on clear liquids. But he advised me to get in the Protein also. My friend gave me unjury chicken soup it meets both criteria. But still only 30 grams of protein. Thanks for the info about other posts. Makes me feel better. How are you dealing?
-
A TMI question but I don't anyone else to ask. Are either of you experiencing menstrual bleeding. I also have PCOS so I'm not sure if this is caused by the surgery it self or not. I haven't been able to take in all the Protein or Water. One shake is 30 grams protein but 20 oz of liquid. What do you have planned for protein intake ? I ordered injury protein Soup but it won't arrive until next week.
-
Jennolsen at least at home you get real rest. I'm sorry your having trouble with the meds. I'm having trouble with just drinking the water and protein. I didn't get nearly as much as I was supposed to get. Little by little.
-
Jewels34, oh no I'm so sorry. Try to rest it will help heal you. Keeping you in my thoughts.
-
Jennolsen how are you feeling today? Mad gas is leaving me every way possible. Lol. It helps to walk. Also maybe ask your nurse for a compression belt. They have me one and it helps a lot. Let me know how things are going Susan66 when is your date?
-
Just left the hospital. Right side is still hurting but otherwise good. The morphine made me extremely nauseous. Good luck jennolsen !!
-
Same here.lits of walking. Finally got off IV and now starting my liquids. If all goes well I get to go home today. I hope you're doing well Jewels!! Thanks for the update jennolsen. I'm glad your doing great.
-
Hey jennolson. I'm so happy for you. You're doing great. When I first came out I was in pain but mess kicked in. Then I had a little gas pain. Now I'm good. No more pain meds. Jewels the nurse called it the gift that keeps on given. Lol. You be running until the morning. Sorry.
-
Good luck jennolsen! I headed to the hospital now feeling nervous but excited to get this started and finished.
-
Yes the magnesium citrate was nasty. Very salty and sour. Getting nervous now about tomorrow. I hope we all keep in contact to update each other. Good luck and sleep tight.
-
Jewels, are you taking Magnesium Citrate?
-
Prepping all day. Clean house, wash laundry, last minute shopping and getting my hospital bag ready. Yay, this time tomorrow I will be out of surgery!!! It's getting too real. ????
-
I have been on mushy foods today, tomorrow clear liquids and a colon cleanse in the evening. Not looking forward to that. Lol. I had to make dinner for my husband while I had Jello. I'm so excited for our new chapter!!!
-
I slept ok, but woke up early. Did some last minute errands and took a nap. Hopefully tomorrow isn't bad. I have to clean and do laundry. My stomach is acting up too, but I think it's the liquid diet. It's good to know that I'm not the only one so anxious.
-
I'm in the same boat. Surgery is set for Monday at 8:00am. Hoping not to think too much this weekend. I had work to occupy my mind but now what. I guess clean the house. Lol Good luck on Your surgery!
