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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
