I hate sleeping on my back' date=' y'all. I cannot wait until I can sleep on my side again. Every time I try, it is just so darn uncomfortable.[/quote']

I am a tummy sleeper! I can not wait to get off my back. I am 2 weeks out and am able to lay on my side for a short time before it hurts. I was able to lay on my tummy without pain. But I don't want to chance a whole night. This may have something to do with the diets the doctors put people on after surgery.

Hows it going for you wendilou

it's going great! I've moved up to Protein Shakes, Soup and yogurt so I am a happy camper I was also cleared for aerobic exercise so I'm amping up my workouts a bit to get back into that. I have very little pain, except when I do my walking I can get a bit sore. But it's really quite tolerable. I'm not taking any pain meds. I attribute that to the arnica montana it took after my surgery. It's a homeopathic drug you can get OTC at some drug stores. It reduces swelling and bruising and i was introduced to it by my plastic surgeon who did my breast reduction. It works wonders. You can get it at whole foods and natural health food stores.
