    my surgeon only required 1 day liquid diet but I had to lose weight through a required program to get approved. Lost about 20 lbs.

    Today is a lot better than yesterday! Not much gas pain left, and out of four incisions, only the ones on the ends really hurt. Mine are all in a horizontal line. I think I know which one the port is behind because it's always sore there, no matter what, but I don't feel very ill or in a ton of pain, and I'm actually feeling pretty good overall.

    Well, surgery went well. I woke up in a lot of pain. I'm still capable of sleeping on my stomach if I'm careful, so I did that, and when I woke up, I felt significantly better. :) Still hurting and walking, but that's it.

    How is it sleeping on your side? Im a huge side sleeper and have been wondering if I would be able to sleep comfrotably once I got home.
