eating /drinking before sleep and pain



Recommended Posts

i am on my third week from the operation and i realized i have to have my last meal at least 2 hours before i go to sleep, otherwise i have abdominal pain and cramps when i lay down. so i just do not eat anything after 8 o clock and that is ok with me.

but the problem is that the same thing happens to me if i drink prior to sleeping so i guess i should not also drink anything2 hours before sleep?

weel that is heavy to me since i am thirsty in that period of time. i also wake up at night thursty but i am afraid to drink becuse of the pain. what shell i do?

i am metionig one more time that i do not have any troubles or pains with food or drink during the day- only when i lay down.

Call your doctor he is the one that should be advising you about what is causing the pain.

I get that as well as I like to have Water at bedside table for during the night. I do get gas pains though and have to stand up and walk around and try to burp - that seems to be the only way to get rid of the pain. I also get cramps in the side and flip to the other side to sleep - seems to help.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
