It took me like 5 days before I could sleep on my side. It was painful but i just had to as I'm a side sleeper as well.

I hate sleeping on my back! I started trying to sleep on my side about a week or so out. I used a body pillow to kinda prop my stomach against so I wouldn't roll over to my belly. I'm 8 weeks out and sleep on my side most of the time. I want to go back to my belly, but I'm paranoid that I will hurt something. I can't wait to get back to my stomach.

Try tucking pillows behind your left part of your back so your leaning to your right a little. Don't try to lean on left at all yet. You will have to tuck a small pillow under your tummy on right side at the same time, it will take pressure off the tummy

I will be sleeping in the recliner. It took me 3 weeks after gall bladder to be able to lay on my stomach. UGH! I hate laying flat.

I'm at 11 days now and I woke up almost all the way on my stomach today. I was on top of a body pillow on my right side so that helped. I bought a body pillow on a wim as line of defense against my very clingy dogs and I'm super thankful I did. It's been a life saver.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
