It took me a little longer to sleep on my stomach. I'm 8 weeks post-op and I did not sleep on stomach until the 5th week. And I still mostly sleep on my sides. For some reason I'm still not completely comfortable sleeping on my stomach.

Thank you all for your responses. Maybe I just need to start being a baby and try it. I've tried turning to my side and I feel like im pulling my stomach, so i just stay on my back.

I can't sleep on my back, so I tried my side right away and had no real problems. My tummy was a little sore when I slept on it, so I sort of hugged a long, king sized pillow and that helped a lot. Good luck!

I'm on day five and can barely sleep on my side. I'm normally a side sleeper but even with a pillow I can't get comfy so I've banished myself to a spare suite and I have half the pillows in the house propping me up and one big one over my tummy so the cats won't step on me lol.

About 10 days after is when I went flat out not propped up my loads of pillows and folded quits I have 2 body pillows so had one either side of me to cushion when I tried to sleep my normal way I was fine did it that way till I was 8 weeks out then moved them back to just prop my leg and elbow on.

I sleep with body pillows to support my leg to help my lower back and hips.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
