Pain!

[Ryno 0]

It took me a good two weeks almost three before I was able to sleep in bed.

After about week 4 I was not feeling any pain just slight tenderness.

On 11/18/09 I had my first fill and that was painful, doctor stabbed me for at least 10 minutes till we found the port, and its fill-hole. Hurt the rest the day and today just a little tendorness.

But the results are there, and showing, and I'm happy about that.

I've been trying to sleep in bed the past two nights but I'm just so uncomfortable. I am a stomach sleeper so sleeping on my back sucks! I have a problem too with my back and now that's causing me pain no matter how I sit, stand and lie. ugh!

I do feel better everyday... it's uncomfortable. I go to the doctor Wednesday for a follow up and I'm hoping that he says everything is healing well. :thumbup:

my doctor is very precise. day 1-7 clear liquids... day 8-14 full liquids... then for 2 weeks pureed... and for the final two weeks mushes.

I started full liquids today and it includes cream of wheat and yogurts so I'm good.

My directive was very similar. stage one, days 2-7 clear liquid. stage two, days 8-14 full liquids. (Includes yogurt, cream soup-no chunks, SF pudding)

The post op diets seem to vary greatly by location of surgeon and the doctor.

Enjoy your next stage!

Hey nkara, I am also a stomach sleeper. I have found relief with pushing a pillow or two under my side and sort of leaning into it to sleep on my side. I still change positions alot because I'm missing my stomach sleep, but so far this has worked. Best of luck
