How long before I can sleep on my side?



Recommended Posts

I usually sleep on my left side. I had sleeve surgery on 12/1. It is still to painful to lay on either side.

I've been sleeping on my right side since day 2 and on my left side since day three. It's probably just different for each person.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

It took me a few days but I was also not on any pain medications at all. I started out by using body pillows though! helped so much. I can't sleep or lay on my left side too long though. It feels really hard if I do.

Sleeved 10/21/16

I'm a side sleeper and went back to side sleeping a little shy of a week post-op, but used lots of pillows to support my abdomen and back. Wasn't back to normal until about 3 weeks post.

      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! 😞
