Hi All

Been banded for 3 days now and i have to say it's getting uncomftorable to sleep at night on my back only. How long did it take the rest of you to start sleeping on your side or stomach post-op?

I've been struggling with sleeping on my back too. I've always been a stomach sleeper and this is something I didn't prepare for. I recently started putting pillows on the sides and leaning on them to help support my belly. Seems to help. I guess it will be awhile before I go to my normal sleeping position.

I slept on my side the first night, for an hour or so at a time. It did hurt a bit when I moved and it was a hard position to get into but I got a pillow under my side like you do when you're pregant, it was just such a relief to get off my back!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
