Give it another week or so. Im 5 months out and find it most comfortable to sleep on my side opposite of the band.

I went back to tummy sleeping either night 3 or 4 I just had to be careful how I got to that position. ..in other words could just flop around and end up on belly... it was actually most comfortable. .just be careful laying yourself down...good luck

I slept on my stomach last night for the first time post op (4th day post op). So I payed two pillows where my stomach and chest would be crawled on my hands and knees into the bed and SLOWLY lowered myself onto the pillows. It was completely comfortable. As for sleeping on my side, I still can't it hurts and is very uncomfortable! It feels like my incisions are stretching and will pop open (I know they won't, but it sure feels like it!). Good luck!!

It's taken me 3 weeks and I can only lay on my stomach for a short time before it begins to bother me. But every day is getting better!! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
