Sleeping

Just curious on how people found sleeping post-op. I imagine sleeping on your back would be recommended, but If I sleep on my back I wake up with a really sore back so I prefer to sleep on my side. Just interested in how others managed in the firsts few weeks.

I was sleeved this past Monday the 6th and I'm still sleeping in a recliner. It's been such a help. Much easier to get in and out of and I can kind of turn on my side a little while keeping a pillow over my stomach to help with pain. I tried sleeping flat in bed and it was a nightmare... Then when I tried to sit up I was like a turtle stuck on its back lol.... So recliner for me until I can comfortably get back in bed.

I think this will probably be what I'll be doing, I'm not comfortable at all flat on my back so I think I'll be in my recliner or with a heap of pillows to prop me up in bed.
