I hope you have that abdominal binder..it will get you comfortable especially on your side, much faster. You can get one at a drugstore. It keeps your belly tucked in so it doesnt schlump over and pull! I had amazing restriction and no appetite for probably a month after surgery..enjoy it...good luck!!

Congrats! In due time sweetie! You will be on your side sleeping in a few days. Move, move, move! The more you get around and move the quicker you will be sleeping better. I promise! Put a pillow close to your belly when lying on your side. It helped to put a little pressure there when i slept. I am only 11 days out from surgery so it is still fresh in my mind. Good luck.
