Sleep Positions



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 5 days ago. I slept on my back the last 4 days but last night I fell asleep on my stomach. Is this allowed ?

I was able to sleep on my stomach at about a week out, so I'm sure that as long as it's not uncomfortable for you, you're okay. Just wait til you lose more weight though..I'm having a very hard time sleeping on my stomach, what with hip bones and all! :(

Trust me, no one knows the hip bones are there except for me! It's only when I lay down and the loose skin/fat mushes around that they become annoying! :(

A Dr. Ren patient! I had originally made my appointment with her, until she stopped taking my insurance. Janeen (jla78) was banded by Dr. Ren, I hear she's wonderful.

She accepted my insurance. I have Oxford Freedom. As a matter of fact I was really surprised that it was so. easy. I went in for my initial consultation on July 8th and I had my surgery July 18 - only 10 days later! It was initially scheduled for July 25th but someone canceled for the 18th and they asked me if I was interested.

      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.
