    Has anyone got any advice on how to make sleeping more comfortable? I usually sleep on my side or my front so sleeping on my back is horrible. Also finding im getting a bad back from being propped up so much and waking up all the time :(. Any ideas? Xx

    Hey Hun I’m the same – I get so uncomfortable and have to get up every couple of hours for a walk around. I’ve propped cushions up so I’m at 45 degrees and I’ve put one cushion under my legs (like behind my knees) which I found has helped my bank pain a bit. I might resort to sleeping on the sofa soon! X

    Ahhh I might try the cushion under my knees. Ive been thinking the same. Found napping on the sofa yesterday easier than sleeping in bed so might just stay down here haha x

    Hey Eilish!

    Yeh sleeping is really uncomfortable. The v pillow helps a little and I also got a blanket and made like a nest for myself which I sleep in. It’s more comfortable than having lots of pillows I found xxx

    I was lying flat on my back from a week post op as I hated it that much, I wouldn’t worry over it to much, just however you feel comfortable. X

    oh and Eilish thank you for asking. feeling much better today. yesterday i was such a state,crying my eyes out and just feeling so down. i wanted the implants out at that point and was really regretting it all but feel much better today. my partner has just washed n blow dried my hair and I’ve had a shallow bath.feeling abit more of myself. just sat and painted my nails and done my makeup for the first time in a week so think its boosted me a bit.

    I bought a 12ft body pillow on groupon and i think it’s why I’ve been sleeping so well I’ve been so surprised as I can only sleep on my side or stomach usually but the pillow has been fab I just get in the middle of it like a v pillow and put all my other pillows on top and because it’s that big I can wrap my leg round it too it’s amazing !

    Ah Hun 🙁 what tablets you taking? The co codomal done me in and today I’ve stopped it and I feel so good for that. I’ve heard the anesthetic can make you feel depressed as well? Maybe that’s what’s been happening to me too. I hope your sickness goes soon for you feeling sick is the worse xx
