This time last week I thought I was dying!!!  I survived the surgery and a blood pressure spike in recovery.  Had to stay two nights in the hospital due to high blood pressure that was not an issue before surgery and severe nausea.  I have been on clear liquids for one week and still have two more to go!!!

On the upside I have lost 8 pounds since the morning of surgery!!!

I have already had my first food mourning episode and am having a hard time getting comfortable at night to sleep.  I am a side/tummy sleeper and it is impossible to get comfortable without being surrounded by pillows and a dose of Loratab.  How long till I can sleep like I used to? 

Thanks for all the great advise that you all have been posting.  I can't wait till I am at goal and can be of help to others just starting the journey.

Congrats on your surgery! I was sleeved last Monday as well, I know what your saying about being a side sleeper, i too cannot get comfortable on my side without pillows and a dose of Loratab...last night was the first time i actually slept all night on my side....so im thinking now each night will get better...:)
