What is the best position to TRY to sleep?

I bought a body pillow to support my belly. I sleep on my sides, place the pillow under my side, hug and I'm off to dream land. I'm one week post op tomorrow so I'm still trying to figure it out myself. This has worked for me this far.

I'm also one week out and I do the same, sleep on my side leaning on a pillow. I was worried as many people had said they had to sleep in a recliner for a week? I was lucky to be able to sleep in my bed I guess:)

I am also one week out and doing fine with side sleeping. Slept on the couch forback support my first night home but after that, it's been me and my body pillow. Bought it for pregnancy but saved it :). Looks like June 21 was a lucky surgery day ;)

I slept in the recliner for the 1st 2-3 weeks then upgraded to the bed with a body pillow I slept on my left side and put my belly up on the body pillow so it wasn't just left there hanging!

      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.
