Today marks a full 7 days out from surgery. It was a painful week, but I'm feeling much better. I haven't used a pain pill at all today so far. I wish I could sleep on my side, staying on my back is killing me as I've never been a back sleeper. Down 15 pounds from surgery.

Hey Mr. Bill!
I know exactly what you mean about sleeping on your side.  I finally got a decent night sleep because I was able to sleep on my side with a body pillow like a wedge.
Glad you are feeling better :)

I hate the sleeping on the back too.  I got to my side pretty quick though.  The discomfort was better then the back discomfort.  lol

Congrats on  surviving your first week and the 15 pounds.

Congrats on the weight loss and surviving one week.  I've had stomach surgery before and have found that sleeping in a recliner chair, such as La-z-boy helped me the first few weeks post op.  It's what I plan to do after my surgery on 3/4/10. 
Best of luck on your continued success!

 Yeah, I have almost broke down and gone to Rent-A-Center just to get a recliner for a week or so. We don't have one in the house.
