chivsg 5 Posted September 25, 2013 21 days out today and I'm sore in a different way with the passing time. It's better for sure but "normal?" Not yet, though there are moments I'll forget (then usually bend fast and be quickly reminded) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daisy N 0 Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks for sharing I just can't wait until I can sleep on my side again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asauv 6 Posted September 26, 2013 i am 9 days out and can now sleep on my side. Actually did it at 4 or 5 days out. i feel almost 100% but feeling little weak because of liquid diet. 8 lbs down already, so definitely worth reward! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jennm 2 Posted September 27, 2013 I had my surgery on Monday 9/23-was discharged from the hospital on Weds 9/25. Second day was the worse but gets better everyday . Lots of rest and need to sleep.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cejiogu 182 Posted September 27, 2013 It takes about 4 weeks to feel normal. The incision pain is usually gone by then and your energy level will even out. I was done May 1st I am down 92 lbs as of this week. Hang in there you will make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess04 2 Posted September 27, 2013 Daisy I was sleeved on 9/23as well and was wondering the same thing. These Protein Shakes are getting harder & harder to digest. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess04 2 Posted September 27, 2013 Oh and try laying a small pillow in your side & slowly roll onto it. Sounds weird but kinda rest your belly on it. Its worked for me!!!! 1 valkyrea reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SJMusicalman103 25 Posted September 27, 2013 I'm a belly sleeper so it's been difficult... I have bone spurs in my back which press on my sciatic nerve so sleeping on my back isn't comfortable most of the time on my mattress... I can do if in my recliner... That's where I have been sleeping... Last night I tried my bed but had nerve "pain" in my upper thigh so back to the recliner I went... I'm still trying to figure it out... I was sleeved on 9/11!

Darling 6 Posted September 28, 2013 Sleeved on the 23rd. Very blessed. Can sleep on my side since day one. I know, lucky me! Am meeting all liquid and diet requirements. Though, I am tired of the liquid diet and am heavily mourning food. Mostly because I did not have a pre op diet, so I am literally withdrawing. Otherwise, al is well. As for the pain, not needing any pain meds any more, though I can feel the soreness when I move and stand up. I think I will be much more happy when able to do solid. For now, I have follow everything by the book! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess04 2 Posted September 28, 2013 You are so good...wish I could say I was following by the book too. I had one week of liquids pre op and now two more weeks post op. I don't know how I'm going to do it. I can't make myself drink them.uughhhh!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diva_Deedy 5 Posted September 29, 2013 I have been sleeved on 9/23rd as well I can sleep on my side as well as my stomach but the issue that I am having is getting the liquids down. I can get about 5 or 6 spoons of broth and then it feels like its rumbling in my stomach and trying to come back up . sometimes its like that and I haven't consumed anything. Has anyone else experience this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess04 2 Posted September 29, 2013 Yes I experience the same thing with the rumbling. Not sure why its happening though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
