I had it under my arms and the "flanks" as the doctor called them, the area the bra covers.

I think I was able to sleep on my back because it was even pressure, if that makes sense. Then I couldn't stand it, but for so long, not through an entire night, so I lie partial side/partial back. For the first week, I actually used a round pillow wedged in my back.

I've had my bra off now for about an hour and my back is starting to ache, so I'm off to get the "sports type bra issued at surgery" back on. I think it's the girls new security blanket, lol.

Neal, it will be an adjustment for you, I've never slept on my back, LOL. It feels like after a while you can't move. I'm a side/tummy sleeper, but have not slept on tummy yet.

I think I mentioned my doctor said sleep, regardless of position was more important.

Write your questions down, you think you'll remember, but you won't.

      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.
