Sleep Positions



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 5 days ago. I slept on my back the last 4 days but last night I fell asleep on my stomach. Is this allowed ?

I was able to sleep on my stomach at about a week out, so I'm sure that as long as it's not uncomfortable for you, you're okay. Just wait til you lose more weight though..I'm having a very hard time sleeping on my stomach, what with hip bones and all! :(

Trust me, no one knows the hip bones are there except for me! It's only when I lay down and the loose skin/fat mushes around that they become annoying! :(

A Dr. Ren patient! I had originally made my appointment with her, until she stopped taking my insurance. Janeen (jla78) was banded by Dr. Ren, I hear she's wonderful.

She accepted my insurance. I have Oxford Freedom. As a matter of fact I was really surprised that it was so. easy. I went in for my initial consultation on July 8th and I had my surgery July 18 - only 10 days later! It was initially scheduled for July 25th but someone canceled for the 18th and they asked me if I was interested.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
