I was laying on my back first night home but moving on my side took a few days and even then I supported my belly with a firm couch pillow.

Thanks in going to try it tonight I sleep with 2-3 pillows under my head anyways. I just laid flat my night 2 in the hospital and got all sorts of sick. Better night sleep ahead I hope!

When I got home I had to sleep propped up - like I was in the hospital, for about 8 days. After that, I could lay flat on my back, it took a few more days before I could comfortably lay on my side.

They didn't want me lying down at the hospital either. They had me propped up. I felt more comfortable in a recliner the first week. Afterwards, I went right to sleeping on my side in bed.

After surgery I got in a pretty heated discussion with my nurse (while still groggy from anesthesia) I was super nauseous and I wanted to lay flat because that always helps my stomach settle and she wouldn't let me!! She said it would make me more nauseous and then put a lock on my bed remote so that it wouldn't go down I was so pissed lol

      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.
