I'm 9 days post-op and I can relate. I've been sleeping in our recliner and taking melatonin. I think I'm close to being able to sleep on my stomach. I'm sorry, I really do understand.

I was told I can sleep in whatever position I felt comfortable in, I was given a little pillow, and I slept on top of it on my left side/stomach.

I had the same problem, think that's normal. You're just going to have to sleep the best you can on your back for a little while. As I recall, first I could only lie on my back comfortably, then on my side, and finally on my stomach. I don't recall exactly, but I think it was 4-6 weeks before I was really comfortable lying on my stomach again.

I just had my sleeve done on 9/12 and I have been struggling too. Getting tired of the recliner and couch...Even when I was 8 and 9 months pregnant I had to feel like I was sleeping on my stomach. So, I lay on my left side at a bit of an angle. Lay a pillow down the long way first and then stuff a comforter in between me and the pillow and also my legs. The comforter is more plush (kinda like my belly) so I can lean on it a little without completely laying 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.
