Re: 12 days post-op/Debbie

[Guest guest]

It took me a while to be able to sleep on either side, but it got better as

the time went on. The biggest thing I had to deal with was after the filter

implant sleeping on my side, but after a few weeks, it got to where I was

comfortable on my left side which is the one where I prefer to sleep.

The worst of my pain was on the left side as well. I could sleep on my

side w/ a pillow under my stomach to support it.

Hi, Jackie,

I am doing really well with my eating. As you know,

all surgeons are different. I am allowed soft type

foods, like cottage cheese, oatmeal, SF pudding,

instant mashed potatoes and stage 1 and 2 baby food

fruits and vegetables. I have 3 meals a day of 2

ounces each, plus 4 glasses of 1% milk with 1 cup of

dried milk and 2 bottles of water a day. I do not

drink anything 1/2 hour before a meal, until 1/2 hour

after a meal. I'm really not experiencing hunger. I am

walking quite a bit. I was able to sleep on my side a

little last night, so the back is better today. I hope

you are doing well. Keep me posted. Take care.

Thanks, ,

I wish I would have asked everyone sooner for

suggestions. Duh, I forgot I have such a great support

system with you all.

I had pain in my left back side as well but that was because I had a

super huge bruise there & the nurse said I was probably dropped

while being moved from table to table.

Oooh! I am still on jello, broth, juices, tea or coffee. I am looking

forward to next week when I can move on to the soft stage. I have not

been hungry though. Just want something different.

You seem to be doing well. I am also able to sleep on my side a little.

I don't have much pain. Just a stitch if I move the wrong way. I had

so much scar tissue she cleaned out I guess I will be sore from that

too.

Hugs,

Jackie

,

Great detail! Sounds like you're doing a lot to keep everything in

order. Keep up the great focus. It's good to hear you're feeling

upbeat and well. Do a little more every few days or week if you can.

Even though I went through similar things I can't help but admire

anyone that goes through post-op wls and all the rules and

restrictions.

Congratulations!
