Going with the flow is good :-)

I didn't sleep well for the first couple of weeks but every day it gets better. I was propped up in bed and that helped until I could lie down properly. Others use recliners or pillows to support their scar areas or to lie on their sides. Maybe try some of those suggestions to see if that helps.

Congratulations and good luck with your new sleeve....

my incision seems to be swollen but that's expected aw long as their is no drainage.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time sleeping. Is your incision sore? Have you tried the pillows like the other poster said? If that doesnt help what about sleeping on your back?

[newu2014 15]

Yes its sore and when I move around its really sore

Did your medical team send you home with pain meds? Most people get narcotic pain medication to use either during the day or particularly at night so if you're not using any pain management you can resolve some of this discomfort by using the medicine that they may have prescribed for you..good luck and congratulations!

I'm am drinking the costco shakes as well. I started on the sf popciles and Jello. I'm four days out and had my first bowel movement. It pays to take your stool softners every day to the max.
