I take them before bed, so by the time early morning comes they have worn off that's what's killing me :(

Neeve, I'm still awake too....just took my pain med and hoping it kicks in soon. Can you take them every 4-6 hours? I was sleeved on Monday and take them before bed and my prescription says every 4-6 hours so on nights like tonight... It's been long enough and I'm taking them again. During the day it's not so bad but nights are totally different. Hope you get some relief and rest :)

Good. You've got to "stay behind the pain." Take them on a regular basis and keep them in your system. I hope you get relief from your pain very soon!!

I was very sore in the mornings, I then started sleeping at an inclined position, it was much better. Try putting a pillow under your knees and if you are a side sleeper make sure to have a soft support pillow for you to hug.

If you need the pain meds, take them! :) There's no award for being in pain. If necessary, set a timer for that second dose at night so that you take it before you start hurting again.

I've read that others have had to sleep in a recliner rather than in a bed. Some claim that a heating pad helps them. Whatever you need to do to manage your pain, you should do.

Good luck!!

Try taking a pillow or two and placing it under your tummy as you lay on your side this way your tummy is directly on the pillow instead of the bed...for me gravity was my worst enemy...the pressure from my weighted tummy pulling down was rough on my incisions...feel better...

Is it Gas? You may need to take gas x or something. My Dr. Prescribed me Prilosec but it was like $60 bucks.... The Pharmacist recommended over the counter.

All weekend the gas has moved through me like hurricane 5 lol :)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
