Better than expected...

I had my bypass surgery on 02/19/14. During my two week pre-op diet I dropped 15 lbs. My surgery weight was 303. Two night hospital stay was OK. the only real issue was sleeping....I sleep on my stomach. I have had very little pain or discomfort. Other than some very minor gas pain Sunday, not much to speak of. scale said 295 this morning! Pleasantly surprised how this has gone so far....especially since this is just the beginning of a new lifestyle. On my way to a new me!

I'm curious how long it takes to get back to stomach sleeping. I had my gallbladder out 11 days ago via just one belly button incision and I'm almost back to sleeping on my stomach. I'm worried about that aspect of the bypass since it's 5 or 6 incisions.

Wow!!! Great inspiration for me!!????????

Im 6 days out of surgery and I feel the exact same way. Just trying to heal up and not worried about anything else! Good luck. I have to get my weight lose ticker up. I want to join the gang.

I slept on my side with a body pillow for about a week and a half. slowly made it back to my stomach after that. I am three weeks out today and sleep better than I have in years....on my stomach.

I'm one week out and I was able to sleep on my side last night. Each night gets better and I'm sleeping better.

I too am a tummy sleeper I am day 5 post op and have a very hard time falling asleep on my back. I have been sleeping with like 5 pillows under my back and head. I started last night and placed a pillow under the left side of my tummy and lay on my side for a few.
