I'm 5 days out and can't seem to get comfy in any position! I can lay on my back with lots of pillows but not for long. My back is killing me!!!! Did I mention I'm a tummy sleeper???

Oops ment to post in the post op section.

My hunny got me a recliner, but I know what you mean bcuz my but and back are killing me! I sleep on my side so this has definetly been a challenge!

I slept on my stomach 7 days out it was the first night I slept all night. I remember being sore but nothing else

It will get better! I promise! Took a couple weeks to get completely comfortable sleeping on my side/stomach.

Thanks girls! I'm gonna try my arm chair with the ottoman and some pillows to see how that works. I hate to say this but I was actually more comfortable at the hospital! Lol

I am also a tummy sleeper, but I found that I could at least sleep on my side/front if I wedged a soft pillow under my tummy area. Sometimes had to move that setup from side to side, but it beats sleeping flat on your back which I really cannot do.

Do u have a body or a king size pillow? I slept on my side with a king size pillow. Miracle!!!

No I don't but I was able to finally get some rest by sealing everyone's spare pillows and lining some up behind and in front of me. I felt like I was in one of those baby positioners! Lol

Thanks

Excellent. Pillows helped me a few days post op by just hugging it into my tummy and laying on my side. Here's to restful nights!
