I was sleeved around 12:30 today and so far I am feeling good. Haven't used much pain medication. Only drawback is I can't sleep. Its 1:04 am and I'm wide awake!

That is awesome news, congratulations :-)

You are not alone. I am in the process of putting together a list of my creditors' date=' account numbers, phone numbers...hr dept information... On top of the letter to family and friends.

I believe I am coming home, but things happen, every day. I love them enough to try and make that time easier for them.[/quote']

I was literally just thinking about doing this right before I came on here, it really does feel like an important thing right? Loving all the info from everyone :-D

Sleep position! I have been having so much trouble sleeping because I'm not a back sleeper. Also' date=' when I lay flat it hurts my stomach. I only feel comfortable if I can sit up slightly. Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote']

I didnt sleep for about 3 nights bc I couldnt get comfortable. I'm a slide sleeper too. I was always sitting in an upright position too. Then I got creative with the pillows & slept kinda on my side...i still wake up almost daily with lower back pain... even after buying an expensive new mattress that is supposed to stop my back pain! Grrrr....good luck!

Thanks everyone for posting your updates! I'm 8 days post-op and feeling fine except for a nasty yeast infection thanks to the antibiotics. Incisions are healing very nicely but still a bit of a pulling sensation when I move the wrong way.

As for weight loss..... drum-roll please.... ZERO POUNDS!!! I'm not worried about it. I'm just happy to finally be back down to my surgery weight! And I am not expecting huge losses anyway since I was 3 and 1/2 months on an 800 calorie diet prior to surgery.

Next week will be SO much better. eggs and chicken and fish....mmm. some days im getting in about 40, some days 30, and some days 50. 50 is what I shoot for but some days I just can't take it.

      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.
