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?

Hello everyone hope everyone is doing good here's my stats

HW: 332lbs SW August 6 2013: 302lbs CW: 256lbs

Feeling a lil discouraged tho because it's coming off so slow! Plus I compare myself to everyone else lol I know an older woman who had her surgery 2 weeks before me and she's dwn 110lbs since surgery I'm like OMG I wish I was down that much already lol but I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to anyone cause everyone is different.. But still can't help it... Were all human lol I'm still happy with my progress. Went from a very right 24/loose 26 to now an 18/20 and they're a little lose so I am happy for this . How's everyone doing?

I feel a little slow too misswifey...but I'm hoping my skin won't be so bad then...but my arms are already horrible...I need to hit some weights!!

[Lovelycurves 94]

I feel you on that Becky I definitely have bad arms already but I'm hoping my thighs and stomach won't be bad but my thighs are huge lol I already noticed my rolls on my back are flattening tho and going away that feels great just hoping my skin doesn't hang bad when I'm dwn to my goal weight.. Which is 140lbs so I have 116lbs to go to my goal...

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.

We are about the same. But I don't like my saggy arms I wish I was able to exercise.

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?
