Has anyone else had trouble sleeping since surgery? I can rarely sleep through the night now, and also tend to have trouble getting to sleep as well. It's starting to make me really tired during the week. I have sleep apnea and have rarely had trouble sleeping since I started using a CPAP. Anyone else have sleep changes since surgery?

Yes I have been having trouble staying asleep! I have no trouble falling asleep but I wake up about 2 hrs before my alarm goes off and I can't fall back to sleep. I have sleep apnea also but haven't used it much since surgery on 8/14.

Emotional break down status... Ahhh idk if it's because I talked to a friend who annoyed the shit out of me or if my sister gets on my nerves that much or what's got me in this mood but I am emotionally drained today... I feel like screaming and punching someone in the face at the same time I feel so down and dad that I feel like crying myself to sleep (and it's only 652pm here) ahhh idk if it's cause my period is right around the corner (unless prego cause the condom broke and I'm not on birth control) or what is going on... But all I know is I haven't been this emotional since I had my surgery other than the October 4 when I had my 10wk apt with my dr. And I started my period 2 days later..... Ahhhhhh is there anything I can do to not feel this way :( today feels like the world is on my shoulders and idk what to do!!!!!

I'm sorry you are having a tough time today. You are not alone. I feel that way every now and again and what makes it harder is not abusing food for comfort. I can share what I have done to help feel better: Hot tea or hot cocoa, hot bath, music, rock in rocking chair, jigsaw puzzle, karaoke. I hope this helps and try not to be hard on yourself, k. :)

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing a lot of Hair loss. I lost a lot of hair before surgery but OMG I'm losing by the handfuls and when I say handfuls I mean literally 2 -3 FULL handfuls in the shower and another 2-3 after when my hair is dry... -_- is there anything I can do to help with the hair loss?

      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.
