Sleepin in a chair



Recommended Posts

Didn't mean to freak you out, Pezo. Deep breathing is more to encourage you to expand your lungs while you are in post-op stages, for a couple of days, to avoid pneumonia. Especially for those who've had major surgery that has them laid up in the hospital for a couple of days. My surgery required me to stay over night. I also had a complication of a hiatal hernia that needed repair and taking deep breaths for the night was sore at first, but now I'm better and I'm 4 days post. You will do fine!!!

o.k. I woke up with a bad crick n my neck from chair sleeping so this morning I decided to try my waterbed (didn't consider anything but getting some restful zzzzz's) and it was awesome I loved my waterbed when I was pregnant cuz it moves around you.....An guess what getting out was just fine because of the wooden side rails I could grab to assist me in exiting....woo who.....but I won't be sleeping in it at night because I will keep my hubby up with all of my snoring but it is good to know that I can crash for a few hours of GOOD sleep......

      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.
