Yes, sleeping on your side is perfectly OK. I rolled onto my side as soon as I got to my hospital bed from recovery. I'm a side sleeper and can only sleep on my side. When you want to get up from bed, first roll to your side and then push up from there. It's the easiest way to get up.

Hang in there. It gets better every day.

Thank you For responding I have been sitting in bed waiting to see I anyone answered me

. How did you get all your liquid in? I'm having such a tough time I only got 20oz today not the required 64oz.

At first I didn't. Couldn't. Just get in as much as you can. Do your best. After I got tired of always feeling like I was force feeding myself I cut myself some slack. I do the best I can and I feel great.

Now, go to bed and sleep on your side. All the best to you.

Omg. I am having the same issue. I got sleeved yesterday and I feel sore when I move. I sleep on my side but it feels bad to lay on my sides.

Does it feel better to lay on your left side than your right? It did for me.
