Well, I'm here at the sleep study, its actually pretty nice. An actual full (maybe queen) size bed in a room, kinda looks like a hotel room little smaller, and bathroom is in hall (its in a doctor office) I'm nervous because I haven't slept without my hubby and when I do sleep away from him I don't actually sleep! The doc gave me a 3mg of lunesta to try to help hopeing it will work. Haven't gotten set up yet, soon though. Already little sleepy (but assumeing that's from my monthly visitor and how early I was up today 6ish and not to bed till after midnight) so hopeing this goes well, I know they are putting a cpap machine on me and if I need it will turn it on. This is gonna be a night that's for sure. Anyways hopefully things go great and I get this done so I can move to the next thing lol gl to me and hopefully no sleep apnea! (My bmi is already at 53 and have high blood presure so I'm already set for that kind of approval)

I am also here at my study! Just got set up and ready to go to bed. I am the same way! I have not slept alone in years and hoping I am able to actually sleep!

My BMI is 57 and I also have high blood pressure. I am fairly certain I have sleep apnea though.

Good luck!

To be honest a night away from my extreme snorer boyfriend, and the thrills of a baby would be AWESOME!! He snores so bad, I sometimes have to go sleep on the couch. Ugh....

It was awful. I can't sleep. I may have to come back and do it all over again bc I couldn't stay asleep.

Now I have to go home and deal with 2 babies after a night of maybe, 2 hours total of sleep.< /p>

I'm sorry AB. I slept ok. Got about 5-6 hrs of sleep. Did wake up a few times tossing and turning and the thing they put in my noise that goes over my mouth to monitor breathing that annoyed the crap out of me! Butthe tech said I won't be needing to come back for a second one. And they didn't put the cpap on me so yay no sleep apnea. (didn't say I didn't have out just assuming) just come back the 21st to talk about my results and be one step closer to my surgery.

Well I was worried for nothing. Of the one hour I was asleep I had 58 apneas. I go back tonight for another study with a cpap.

I had trouble sleeping with my at home study. I did it two weeks ago and no answers yet. I don't know how they expect people to sleep with a box thing on your chest and wires getting in the way all night long. It was a rough night for sure.

I hope I can do mine at home, I have a 10 month old. And although he will sleep through the night, I don't want to have to find a babysitter just so I can go sleep 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.
