Hi and congrats! I had my sleeve on July 15th. I'm not sleeping on my stomach yet although I feel like I could. I've been sleeping on my sides and it's been comfortable.

Today was my first post-op. I was just wondering how much weight you've lost so far and what your exercise and eating routine is like? My nutritionist told me today that I can stop the Protein shakes and start to eat real food. But I don't see how I'm going to eat 60g of Protein with servings being so small.

What do you do?

Hi and congratulations to you as well. I have lost 17 pounds and I am on creamy foods. I am suppose to have 50 gems of Protein and 64 oz of Water. I want to sleep on my stomach because I have a bad back but my surgeon has not given me the OK.

You can sleep on your stomach when it feels ok to do so. I am 14 days out and I can somewhat sleep on my stomach. I take a body pillow and kinda lay on my stomach over the pillow but still at just a slight angle. Getting closer.

Congrats on joining the losers bench. :-) I'm a side sleeper, it took me about a month before I could transition from sleeping propped up on my back to sleeping on either side. Never been able to sleep on my stomach.

      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.
