You are not alone. I am in the process of putting together a list of my creditors' date=' account numbers, phone numbers...hr dept information... On top of the letter to family and friends.

I believe I am coming home, but things happen, every day. I love them enough to try and make that time easier for them.[/quote']

Sleep position! I have been having so much trouble sleeping because I'm not a back sleeper. Also' date=' when I lay flat it hurts my stomach. I only feel comfortable if I can sit up slightly. Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote']

I didnt sleep for about 3 nights bc I couldnt get comfortable. I'm a slide sleeper too. I was always sitting in an upright position too. Then I got creative with the pillows & slept kinda on my side...i still wake up almost daily with lower back pain... even after buying an expensive new mattress that is supposed to stop my back pain! Grrrr....good luck!

Good luck! It will be over before you know it! Prayer said!

Thanks everyone for posting your updates! I'm 8 days post-op and feeling fine except for a nasty yeast infection thanks to the antibiotics. Incisions are healing very nicely but still a bit of a pulling sensation when I move the wrong way.

As for weight loss..... drum-roll please.... ZERO POUNDS!!! I'm not worried about it. I'm just happy to finally be back down to my surgery weight! And I am not expecting huge losses anyway since I was 3 and 1/2 months on an 800 calorie diet prior to surgery.

Good luck to all of you getting sleeved to day!

Im also having a hard time getting in enough protein. Its just that all the protein I can have right now is sweet and im so tired of that. I want some savory flavors! Next week will be SO much better. Eggs and chicken and fish....mmm. some days im getting in about 40, some days 30, and some days 50. 50 is what I shoot for but some days I just can't take it.
