I realize it is a carbohydrate and it's probably one of the many things that got me into trouble, but is it allowed once we are on solid food?

I'm having the same problem. I've had my back go out on me a couple times before, and it's not fun. I prop my pillows up so I am semi-sitting up while laying a little on my right side. (Port is on my left, but I've really never had a problem with that area). I also have a body pillow or regular pillow to put against my stomach. This seems to help me. The one thing that really ached, was my shoulders! Drives me crazy when I am trying to get some sleep!! I hope this helps you, and remember, we are all in this together!:sifone:

I'm surprised you got a fill that quickly. My doctor and most of what I've read you usually are waiting a couple weeks after surgery. I'm sure every doctor is different = ) I hope everything goes good for you from now on!:sifone:

This is Shari = ), forgot my password and couldn't get a new one to work. I want to thank everyone for their advice. I did have surgery on Jan. 28 and I can't tell you how much of what you all had told me came in handy. I am so glad I did it...I can't wait for the skinny person inside of me to come out!:sifone:

I wish the anesthesiologist hadn't said I needed an epidural, cause I didn't! I was so nervous the day before surgery, it was awful, couldn't sleep at all!
