Sleeping On Your Side Again?!



Recommended Posts

I slept on my side from day one. Force of long married habit.

I have no choice but to sleep on my side. Thats all i have room for on the far edge of the bed that my wife leaves me.

She also tucks the blankets under herself so I am left with none. In winter I have to sleep in warm clothes.

Mind you she does all this in her sleep and has no waking knowledge of it. She's lovely, really. Brrrrrr, i even feel cold in summer months now after my sleeve.

I slept on my side from the second night on, but I have a sleep number bed. I also was able to lay face down at the chiropractor after one week and had a massage after two weeks. None of this caused any pain at all.

I'm with some of the others. I was on my side a few hours after surgery.

I, too, was laying on my side within hours of the surgery!

      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.
