6 days post op/can't sleep

[JaySoD 7]

Here I am on my 6th day post op and I'm excited because I decided to start walking for 30 mins twice a day but as excited as I am I'm also uncomfortable. I haven't been able to sleep well, is it just me or is there some stomach pain or not really pain as much as just really irritating. My abdominal is a little sore but that hardly bothers me at all, I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through this feeling.

Try some Benadryl

i had trouble sleeping the first week -- I'm a side sleeper and my stomach was just a little too tender to do that the first week. i was also having some low-level issues with gerd (despite taking a PPI). i found propping myself up on a few peoples helped. I'm two weeks out now and sleeping soundly -- this will pass, i promise.

I've already stopped my Tylenol 3 maybe I'll start it back just to sleep better, thanks

Thanks, I may just be rushing it, it is only 6 days after literally cutting away half my stomach.... I'm pretty impatient with what I can and can't do I'm just ready to lose this weight
