I'm in my hotel room with my husband and was wondering if there's anything I can do to get comfortable for sleep. I'm normally a side sleeper, and it's super hard to get in and out of the bed. It hurts so bad.

I heard it's best to sleep in a recliner the first few days. I haven't had my surgery yet tho scheduled the 22nd lots of luck on a speedy recovery and pounds shedding fast!!

Sitting up right with pillows behind me helped me alot for the first week (3wks post). A recliner is definitely a great idea. Try it, it might help.

I slept on my back kind of hitched to one side. Used many pillows.

Post op pain meds helped me sleep also.

Lots of pillows behind your back and head, just prop yourself up at an angle. That's what I did, slept like a baby.

      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.
