Pillows! Help please

I had my op yesterday. And no matter what I do I cannot get comfortable! Someone please show me or explain how to put my pillows so I’ll be comfy? I have a V pillow and lots of others, it’s just not working out for me! X

Congratulations. I had mine done last wednesday and sleeping was horrendous I only slept in the bed cause I exhausted myself. I have a lovely trick for what I did. I had 4 pillows. I stacked them each time pulling them slightly forward so they were leaning towards me. Had a sulley from monster inc pillow pet that I tucked his head under the pillows and the pillow bit of the teddy under my back/mum and then a V pillow on top of the stacked pillows xxxx

Not sure this attached

I bought this upright pillow thing + the v pillow and stacked my bed as shown in pic. I have honestly not had less than 8 hours every night since my op 9 days ago

Thanks girls. I’ll have to try what you’ve both done to see if something works for me. I only managed a couple of hours sleep last night and another hour nap today x

I know its such a pain trying to get comfy hun, if you could get someone to go to argos and get you one of the bed rests which cost £25 i know its a lot but honestly has helped me to no end combined with endless amounts of pillows, it also helps me with getting up as i have something to push back against if that makes sense? I think that has something to do with me by day 3 po being able to get up and about whenever i wanted, hopefully you’ll be getting some sleep soon and the pain dies down a bit for you! xx

Yeah I’ve heard good things about the back rests. I just thought I’d try manage without one! But it’s not working haha. I’m getting up and about because I don’t want to just lay here, but it’s just not being able to get comfy laying down that bothers me. Don’t know how I’ll manage another 13 days of this. Thanks fern xx
