When To Sleep In Bed On Stomach?



Recommended Posts

Had a question when were some of you ready to sleep in bed or on side after surgery. I am 4 days post op and really wanting out of the recliner. Need some advice (:

Oh also when did you feel you could comfortably ride in a car again or drive?

I drove 3 days out! It took about two weeks before I could sleep on it or get up completely pain free.

The bed was horrible I used the couch which gave me something to grab ahold of to get up and roll That part always worried me I was scared to get a hernia they say no more than 10 lbs but heck I was way overdoing that trying to sit up.

At the hospital I would get into bed when I had to sleep cause I was dressing getting out of it. I just would stand around and walk.

I was only in the recliner 1 night then in my bed with at least 2 pillows. I can lay flat but its not always comfortable!

It took me about 3 weeks before I could sleep on my stomach. Even now I mostly sleep on back or side.

      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! 😞
