Pillows under knees and in between knees helped me a lot.

I too slept in the recliner for about 9-10 days then slept in the bed with a regular pillow and a body pillow.....thanks to my wonderful husband who went and got me a body pillow at the last minute!!

I slept on couch for the first few days then had to go into bed, couch wasn't comfy at all. I kind of slept on side and curled up with pillows as long as I took pain pills before bed I was fine till morning. It's the rolling over and forgetting that kicked my butt. My neighbor had the same surgery and slept in recliner for weeks.

I still go back and forth from sofa to bed and it has been a month. My body pillow is my best friend she follows me no matter where I sleep . I am thinking of giving her a name. Haha

After reading all these posts I'm glad I bought a new recliner for my office LOL WE have them in the livingroom but, it's noisy out there. I'd never sleep, my dogs would keep me up. At least in the office I can shut the door so if everyone else is up, I can still sleep if needed.

When I first had the lap band I slept in the recliner now that I'm going with the bypass I let my husband know I may be sleeping on the recliner.

I slept in my stomach in the beginning. I did this because back in the day when I was a paramedic they used to tell us to lay the person on the injured side because the pressure relieves the pain. And sure enough I slept like a baby! No pain or nothing til I rolled over. As long a I was flat on my stomach I was fine...just the rolling over part that was awful

      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.
