:biggrin: Got banded on the 13th and had to stay in the hospital overnight. I have been having pain like I've never felt before. It's not gas pain it's pain on my left side of my stomach. I thin that's the port area? But gawd! I'm on two different pain medications and I'm just tolerating it. How long till it goes away? :tt2:

I've been trying to sleep in bed the past two nights but I'm just so uncomfortable. I am a stomach sleeper so sleeping on my back sucks! I have a problem too with my back and now that's causing me pain no matter how I sit, stand and lie. ugh!

I do feel better everyday... it's uncomfortable. I go to the doctor Wednesday for a follow up and I'm hoping that he says everything is healing well. :thumbup:

my doctor is very precise. day 1-7 clear liquids... day 8-14 full liquids... then for 2 weeks pureed... and for the final two weeks mushes.

I started full liquids today and it includes cream of wheat and yogurts so I'm good.

My directive was very similar. stage one, days 2-7 clear liquid. stage two, days 8-14 full liquids. (Includes yogurt, cream soup-no chunks, SF pudding)

The post op diets seem to vary greatly by location of surgeon and the doctor.

Enjoy your next stage!

Hey nkara, I am also a stomach sleeper. I have found relief with pushing a pillow or two under my side and sort of leaning into it to sleep on my side. I still change positions alot because I'm missing my stomach sleep, but so far this has worked. Best of luck
