I went back to work a week later I did not have pain I think I slept on my side in the hospital. I have felt great from the beginning the dr. attributed it to a positive mindset and no health issues

I'm having my surgery on Monday. I have to stay on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks after surgery, so I won't be having any pureed or mushy foods until the beginning of June. I sure hope I don't have a lot of pain, especially since I'm used to sleeping on my side too!

I also slept on my right side while I was in the hospital. I sleep on both sides at night.

I'm 9 days post op.. i sleep on my side.. i take turns on each side all night long.. I slept ten million times better in my own bed than i ever did in the hospital. I'm still on liquids i won't be eating anything besides that for two more weeks. Lot's of Unjury.. unflavored in my crystal light. The other day i had Unjury vanilla mixed in with crystal light orange... it tasted just like an orange julious it was sooo yummy except that was the last sample i had so i'm going to order some more. I'm ten pounds down since surgery and feel great!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
