Sleeping..... or not



Recommended Posts

I have always been one to go to sleep before 10 and wake up in the morning before 8.

Now I get in bed at 10 and kay here for hours!!! Tonight it's been almost. 4 hours and I just can not fall asleep. And when I do finally fall asleep I wake up almost every hour.

I am 15 days post op and all of this happened after surgery.

Has anyone else gone through this?

I just wanna sleep!!!!

Take a zanax or a melatonin to help you sleep. If it keeps up I would talk to my doctor about prescribing you something to help. It could be the changes in your chemicals with less food and all.

I am having this problem as well. I have been taking melatonin the past week 30 minutes before bed and I am noticing a difference. I'm still not sleeping like I did before surgery, but I feel like I'm getting rest. As you can tell by the timing of this post, I am up late today but overall I feel my sleep is getting better with the melatonin. Hope this helps and you get more sleep soon!

This is also my struggle! Either I stay up all night or fall asleep early and am up 3 hours later. It's extremely frustrating. Pre-sleeve I would have been eating until I felt full and sleepy again. I'm happy to have broken that horrible habit, but some rest would be a nice substitute.

      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.
