Do you find it's more comfortable laying down in a bed or sitting in a recliner? My surgery is Friday ...so I'm curious where I might find myself sleeping when I come home lol.

Actually, both. Moving and changing position helps move the gas. I went to sleep in bed for about four hours, got up to pee and drink a couple of ounces if Water. Settled in my recliner for a couple hours and napped. Time to pee again, drink a little then back to bed. Hopefully I can just stay in bed by weeks end. But the gas is moving and I’m getting rid of all the Fluid they pumped into me.

Good luck with your surgery!

Just in day 2 of liquid doing good abs down 2 ponds in 1 day. So helpful Nehemiah that happens. How is everyone doing on liquids?

Mine started last Thursday. It hasn't been easy but somehow today was easier. My energy wasn't as low as the past few days. I've been struggling with nausea for some strange reason.

Congrats. Just take it easy. I had mine on the 8th and I was in rough shape. So many people were walking away and I was thinking. "maybe something is wrong because I just feel wrecked" but it did get better. My pain didn't really start to recede until 4 or so days later, but other than some pulling in my stomach it's a lot better. Just don't over do it go at your own pace.

Walking and laying on your back with a pillow under your knees or laying on your left side. Call your doctor about the nausea they can give you some meds

      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.
