Insomnia From My Shake's Splenda!



Recommended Posts

It's 7:51 on Sunday morning, but I've yet to go to sleep from Saturday. I just figured it out: my Matrix shake has insomnia-causing Splenda as an ingredient! I love this flavor, but I need to get some sleep too. I'll have to come up with a substitute today.

This insomnia can really cost me money. While I was awake all night, I redesigned my front garden for next year and decided that we need to get a number of built-in bookcases installed around the house.

Wait until HE wakes up and discovers what I've planned to do to the house in the coming months! (Well, I do need to develop new hobbies to replace eating!)

Are you recently post op? I had bad insomnia for about a week and a half after surgery. Asked my dr and she said it was normal. I started sleeping good when I went to work. I've never heard of the Splenda thing--makes me nervous to try it!

      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.
