Weight Loss And Lack Of Sleep Correlation?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if there is a link between not getting enough sleep and stalling? I have always read that sleep deprivation can cause you to gain weight and/or not lose any but I wonder if that applies to us sleevers. I have lost only one pound since Thanksgiving and since then have been averaging about 4 hours sleep every night. I have never been one to sleep more than 6 to 6 1/2 hours and when I do, I feel groggy all day. Lately, I have not been able to get to bed earlier than midnight and I get up around 4:00 am to get ready for work.

Does anyone have any info on whether this could be causing my stall?

Yes, lack of sleep and weigh or obesity and stalling when losing weight can be tied together: You can site the below link and it takes to others also, there are many clinical trials behind these articles.

I am not vouching for every link on this page, of course, but there is alot of information there.

Do not forget diabeties, early onset dimensia, increased chanses of inflammation, lack of focus, depression, and children that are not made to develop regular healthy sleep patterns are less likely to do well in school - that is not all, but dang! I's enough! Lol.

      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.
