Sleeping

I had my BA on Friday and finding it really difficult and uncomfortable sleeping on my back … Was just wondering when you ladies managed to start sleeping on your side/on your front – how many days post op were you? Xx

I second this, had mine on Friday too and I didn’t realise sleeping on my back would be so uncomfortable even with a mountain of pillows xx

I am dreading this! I was practicing sleeping upright with my v pillow & my bum just ends up feeling like it’s burning! Xx

Haha it is horrible 🙁 I’ve put loads of pillows on my matress to support by back and bum but it’s still sooooo uncomfy I can’t wait until I can have a good nights comfy sleep xx

It took me nearly 2 weeks to fully lay on my side I never slept sat upright though I just slept at an angle but used extra pillows to prop under my back/bum so I was on a slight tilt so it didn’t hurt as much! Worked great but I sleep like this most night anyway as I get a bad back try it!! I had 6 pillows altogether 4 for the back/head one for my back/bum and I used the other to rest my knees on xx

I think I will have to drug myself up before bed x

Ok thanks Emma I will defo try that tonight then because at the minute I can only sleep a couple of hours at a time because I’m so uncomfy xx

I got my v pillow out last night… Glad I did. Got the memory foam one as that’s what my mattress is.
Didn’t have the best nights sleep 🙁 x

Great thing to look forward to!!! Didn’t think about sleeping! Hope wine helps!!My BA next Friday xx

IKR! Sleeping, strapping, aches everything is getting to me atm 🙁

I also have the memory foam v pillow which does help but still finding it hard to sleep 🙁 grrrrrr so annoying!! And haha yes I’m sure wine will definately help … I have been taking all my tablets before I go to sleep which makes me sleep so that helps a bit!! Good luck with your BA @roxanne 🙂
I know how you feel @penny8508 – my aching isn’t nearly as bad now but my incisions hurt and I really need a shower and this strapping is driving me crazy xx
