I have sleep problems as well. I work midnights, and have for ten years now. On my off days, I convert back to normal hours so I can spend time with my family. I have a noise machine that I turn up "rain or ocean sounds," and that keeps the outside noise at bay. Also, I take a daily allergy pill that puts me sleep.

I haven't been able to sleep for years. It's a very big problem. I take Ambien and I am sure that's the problem now, because I would never be able to sleep at all without it.

I use to take Ambien a 1/2 tab at a time. Man, that stuff really works. But then i started reading where people can sleep walk/talk/eat/drive/sex. My hubby did tell me " on more than one occasion"' that we'd been intimate, and I don't remember, so sleep sex is true! I quit that stuff cold turkey..Lol!

No fun, if you don't remember it! All though, still burning calories.

I honestly think I had more trouble sleeping pre op than I do now.

Even though its still not great. Am I wrong in assuming that as we get older we sleep less anyway? Most of the older people I know seem to survive on tidbits. I cant imagine that, I want my ten hours!

Yeah, I have heard all those stories about ambien. I am really lucky. I take it and get in bed and wake up about 6 hours later. I wish I could sleep longer. Sometimes I do lay there a long time before I can fall asleep. I have no desire to get up and eat or talk on the phone or drive or any of the things I've heard people do.

I am sure DH would love for me to wake him up, but all I want to do is fall asleep!

I take synthroid and do not have to crush it! My doc said that as long as pills are not much bigger than an M&M candy there is nothing to worry about with the sleeve surgery!! Good luck and welcome!

Oh good to know!!!!!! Thanks! :)

      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.
