My surgery was on the 23rd and I can just now lay on my side comfortable. I found putting a pillow under my side helps.

I do that too but then I wake up very sore! Maybe I'm just still not ready i guess

I could not side sleep until about a month after. My tummy just didn't like that. Funny, I didn't realize I could sleep on my side until I woke up in the middle of the night on my tummy.

I was always a side/stomach sleeper so it was tough for me to get used to sleeping on my back. Give it some time, we all heal at different paces.

I hope it gets better soon!! I am a side sleeper! So i get what you are saying!!! Hard enough to rest when you are slightly uncomfortable, then add having to sleep in a different position than we are use to just stinks!
