Newbie insomnia?

[Ahealthyme2013 39]

I was sleeved 5 days ago and have been doing well, but I'm not sleeping very well. Anybody have this experience after surgery. When I do sleep, I often think of food. Probably because I e been on liquids for a week. Ugh!

I'm 10 days post op and barely slept for the first week. The last two nights I slept better than ever. I think, for me, once I could lay flat in bed and the incisions stopped being so sore was the turning point.

No idea if you're on a narcotic, but whenever I take Percocet (Roxicet in liquid), I can't sleep that night. I was even awake all night in the clinic the night after I had my surgery. Other than that, it could be a million things, excitement, your thoughts not slowing down, just about anything.

Good luck!

The roxicet will make u sleeepy but keep u up. I have been on it off and on for 3 months. Im on it now too. I was off of it for over a month and still ended getting on ambian because of the lack of sleep I had for almoat a month.your body goes through so many hormonal changes the sleep can be where you see it most. Once you get off roxicet too you will have a hard time sleeping still because ur body will crave it. Just be careful. Once you get off it you get moody ansd mean and hormones go nuts. It will also make you constipated, which makes someone unhappy just because lol

Try sleeping in a reclining chair, this helped me a lot for the first few nights.

Oh, and generally with the sleep it could just be your body. With ir beinf sore and uncomfortable it makes it very hard. I pretty much made me a balloon cloud

Thanks for the responses. I was on Norco for the first few days, but switched over to Tylenol a couple days ago for discomfort. The heavy meds were making me too sleepy and gave me a headache, although they were great for pain. Hopefully it will get better.
