Hi there! I had a hard time sleeping too for the first few weeks. I'm a side/tummy sleeper as well and it was hard to get comfortable. After about a week and a half I started to put a soft pillow between my stomach and the bed, that seemed to help.

Also, Melatonin will help to get you to sleep. You can find it all over, in Vitamin sold places. Also, the Celestial sleep Time tea helps right before bed. HTH

sleep early on is difficult. My DW made a pocket of pillows that I nestled in which kept me resting at about 60 degrees upright. I have heard of some people living out of a recliner for the first few weeks.

I started laying flat after about 3 weeks, not on my back, but not on my side, either. Wife stuffed a pillow behind me. I think I was back to side sleeping at about 6 weeks.

You should be fine now. Give it a try tonight :) hope it works for you, if not it will get better eventually...I was dying because I sleep on my side with a body pillow and I couldn't do it for a while.

thankfully i have an adjustable bed so i can lift the legs and the head at different angles, but i am a side sleeper/tummy sleeper so its just hard.. thanks guys im hopin it gets better with the next few weeks cuz sleepin like this is killing my back, and i wake up all stiff.

I guess im doin ok for only bein 2 weeks out, but yea it would be nice to get back to regular patterns. lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
