5 days post op

I am 5 days post op today and omg I cannot sleep comfortably. I'm meant to still be sleeping upright and I have my compression socks on still and frankly I'm just over it all!!! I am not so much in pain anymore as just uncomfy. Oh and I am yet to poop yet. Can anyone recommend good ways to sleep

The first few days I pushed a pillow on my back so I could sleep a little to my side but not so much on the incisions. I add a little Metamucil to my water intake which also does triple duty with my dry vitamins and crystal lite. This helps me not get constipated and the vitamins help me heal faster.

I'm 8 days post op and I had my first "poop" so tiny idk if it counts but my dr's office has me on mirlax (sp?) it comes in an unflavored powder and mixes really well into crystal light.
