I think everybody is different' date=' like everything. I was really never tired. My mom had to remind me to stay still "you just had surgery" she said.. And she wouldn't let me do anything, I love her. I didn't really nap at all. The hardest day for me, of course, was day 1. Other than that it's been unbelievably easy. No pain, a little nausea rarely though. I went swimming for the first time yesterday and stationary bike felt good, I was a little tired after that. My surg was on 8/27. I'm a nurse, it's my 2nd week back at work and it's ok. So grateful that things had been working out this way. I was expecting a harder recovery but I'm not complaining. SO BLESSED!! Sending everyone good positive vives[/quote']

I am similar to you. My mom has been on me, as well as my nursing classmates and friends. I have a 20# weight limit and I'm always getting in trouble because I forget. I feel like I have more energy than before surgery. I'm doing great. I'd say 110%.

Is anyone a stomach sleeper? If so are you back to sleeping on your stomach and if so how long did it take you to be able to sleep on your stomach

I am a side sleeper but I do go more towards my stomach than back and I have been good for a good week now. I've been on my side since 3 days post op but was still tender so I would tend to baby the area and not roll more that way.

I am a stomach sleeper. Couldn't sleep on my stomach until 4 wks post-op. It felt sooooooo good to get back on my stomach. Finally able to sleep all through the night now :)

For some reason I'm scared to sleep on my stomach. Were you scared the first time you did?

Congratulations - that's outstanding! Please share your diet plan with us, mine is moving much slower so perhaps I'm not eating the right things. Thanks

Thanks! So far nothing fancy...still on soft foods stage, so I'm supplementing with protein shakes. But the foods are pretty simple...eating a lot of eggs these days! lol

I lost 30lbs in my first 14 days and stalled until this past Wednesday (2wks). And I go to the gym everyday and swim everyday. Needless to say, I was about ready to break the scale....lol. now I am down another 2lbs. So 32 altogether.
