When Could You Sleep On Your Stomach?



Recommended Posts

I cannot sleep on my right or left side or on my stomach. If I try on my left I get a sharp sudden horrible pain? I had pains before in lower abdomen by left side of belly button. Also had a CT scan an nothing wrong. Getting annoyed about the sleeping, anyone heard of such pains before? I also have diverticulitus so I am always thinking it is that.

Yes My Doctor knows and he is stumped as to why? The pain is getting better but still not the way I used to be. I feel like the port is rubbing somehow? Thanks for answering me back. Been trying to find someone who has the same issues

just saw you were kinda banded recently...i know about 2 weeks ago, my port site was (tender) tissue come to find out it was the scar forming around the band. do you think that could be it??

I thought that too I just don't know. It happens alot when I bend down to pick something up or when I sneeze. The pain did move from one spot by my belly button to now where the port is. I am thinking that it is still healing. My surgery was 5/18. I thank you so much for talking to me. If it is the tender tissue I guess it will go away? I am praying... I have come to just deal with the pain. OH it hurts alot when I sit or after I eat too? Weird ****!

well, we just had major surgery remember and they cut our tummies and insides. i had 5 incisions, so its bound to hurt a smidge

.

it hurt me when i bent (at waist/stomach) or stood up...it does get better. my port spot def let me know it was there up until about 2 weeks ago.

i will talk to you whenever hon. you are def not alone

It was 3 days. I'm a stomach sleeper so I'm so thankful it was relatively quick!! I still can't really flop down and sleep like I use to but I usually start on my side and work to be on my stomach, slowly.

How long after surgery until you could sleep on your stomach again?

Took me about 7 days and I used a body pillow which helped cushion my port

I just had surgery a month ago and never gave it a thought... I'm sure I was sleeping on my stomach the same night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
