Restless Sleep/ Sweating?



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was my most active day since my surgery (5/1). I walked maybe a mile at the dog park with my two puppies. I also stopped taking my pain med (hydrocodone APAP)I was feeling pretty good, but I had a pretty restless sleep. I just didn't feel right and couldn't quite put my finger on it. Around 3AM, I couldn't stop coughing. I remembered that my pain med had a cough reducer. I took it, fell right to sleep and woke up about four hours later... my cough was gone but I had sweat like crazy (I don't normally sweat so it was very noticeable). I am thinking maybe I caught a little bug or something and the meds help knock it out?

Has anyone else had this type of experience? I feel fine now but wanted to get other people's insights. My first post-op appointment is on Thursday.

meds wouldn't knock it out in a few hours but dehydrstion would cause sweating...drink a lot today. I am thinking with the walking and you are still in recovery this might be it it was for me just last week.

Thanks for the reply. I had ~64 oz of Water yesterday, but after the walk in the Florida heat, I probably could have tolerated more. I'll try to drink even more today.

      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.
