Morning everyone...hello cloey!

I still reall dont sleep on my side only because there is still a tiny bit discomfort and dont want to aggrivate anything or develop any unnecessary scar tissue...so i sleep on my side propped with pillows likeni did when i was pregnant.... Its actually really comfortable i wondered why i hadnt been sleeping like this before lol....

Curious how everyone is doing with sugar...i know its supposed to be all sugar free but i have the ok to have sugar since artificial sweeteners taste like acid to me...i still try though hoping i find the right combo... Stevia is what i keep trying since its the best...any suggestions???

Have a good day everyone!

I can only sleep on my back now- I have pain in my belly sleeping on my sides or stomach- but more so when I get out of bed I have a a very sharp pain in my abdomen muscles my doc says it's a spasm caused by a suture he gave me muscle relaxers that help. He said this is a very rare thing. Just wondering if anyone else dealt w this??

      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.
