If you do not have one I highly suggest a body pillow. I am a side sleeper and didnt sleep well in the hospital because I couldnt sleep on my side. but the body pillow helps' date=' you can put it under your stomach and put your legs around it to take off the pressure from being on your side, its a wonderful thing ! .

Hope your feeling better soon !.[/quote']

Thanks MindyNTexas I did just what you advised and was able to sleep like a baby last night!

What are you november sleevers able to eat at this point? Please post what your eating in a typical day and how far post op you are. I'm interested in hearing where everyone is at. Everything with any texture that I eat (yogurt, pudding, hummus) get's stuck and feels uncomfortable and my stomach is really "talking" to me. I think I heard it tell me off a couple of time..LOL

My surgery is on Wednesday and today I woke up with a really minor sore throat and stuffy nose!!!!!! Nnnnnooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I was asked to notify them if I got any cold or flu symptoms. I don't want it to be canceled.. What should I do?!?

[dlinnh 44]

You will be fine - just take it easy - I started feeling crummy before surgery too, probably from that stupid liquid pre-op diet LOL and malnutrician - just baby yourself, with plenty of fluids, tea and rest. Good luck

[DivineMissM 60]

Dont worry about the stuffy nose etc.. It would have to be in your chest before they would cancel. At least that has been my experience, working in the OR for 30 years. And they will check you out before surgery anyways. I would NOT cancel myself.

I was sleeved Nov 6. Had some issue with nausea Post op day 4 & 5 but got over that. Live better chemically. anyways, I am now eating eggs, tuna, ground turkey, as well as the full fluids etc. starting to branch out more now. Feeling good, although I have lost 15 lbs since surgery, I am stuck a little now... but I had lost 50 lbs preop.

Hang in there.. every day it gets better..

BLAHHH!!!!!!. POST OP DAY 5 AND Protein SUCKS! I need another brand besides muscle milk Isopure and Unjury choc splendor..

Today I had one scrambled egg, Protein Shake, three bottles of Water, and just now about two tbsp of smashed split pea Soup. The soup went down well and tasted better than anything I've had so far. Still need to get more Protein in. Did all my walking. I'm six days post op.its really hard to get all the protein in.
