I was sleeved on the same day! Mostly I feel OK sleeping - sides, and even stomach, but sometimes flat on my back feels like its pulling - I usually just put a pillow under my legs.

I had my surgery in December..and go through phases when it comes to sleeping. I've always been a stomach sleeper. And was looking forward to sleeping on a SMALLER tummy! Once I was done healing (about a month out), I was more comfortable on my stomach again. However, I find I have switched to being a side sleeper. These days, that just feels right. I still sneak onto my tummy, but it just doesn't feel the same (go figure).

i'm just SOOO glad I sleep through the night now (and with no snoring TYVM!). Before I had insomnia. Now, like a baby!! one of the beautiful NSV of the sleeve!

Its going pretty well, although weight loss this week has been super slow, but alot of people say that about week 3. I just started this week on pureed foods - they seem to be going down OK. My biggest issue is getting in enough liquid. I never drank alot before and its even harder now. I hope you are doing well other than the sleep issue.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
