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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
