I always preferred to sleep on my stomach but couldn't do it for long because it'd hurt too much. Now since the surgery, I love to sleep on my stomach because its so comfortable and it doesn't hurt anymore. Of course, it takes me a minute to get there, I can't just flop over like before lol...but once I get there, I can sleep that way for a couple hours.
My surgeon says its fine for my back, but not for my neck, but I told him when i slept on my stomach, I pushed my pillow up and slept flat on the bed, so he said that was fine.
Just wondering if anyone else preferred sleeping this way, although its awkward to get in that position (for me anyways haha)
Also, for anyone who's been post-op for a while, can you eventually like lay on your stomach and watch tv or color with your kids or is that just not possible? I know I can't lift my head while laying on my stomach or prop myself up on my arms while on my stomach like before.
