Anybody else not sleeping?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Had a sleeve on 3/18/16. Everything has been great. One thing; after the drugs wore off, say 4 days out, I've been sleeping maybe 5 hrs a night. One night, unable to sleep, I was up ironing at 2 AM. (Tell me I don't know how to party!) anybody else out there experiencing the same?

I was a sound 8 hour per night sleeper prior to surgery. Now I wake up @ 2 am every night unless I take Tylenol PM. It's been 3 months and not getting better. Hope things get better for you!

Same here. I was sleeved 3/11 and got a max of 5 hours per night (if that much). Yesterday during my first post op meeting with my doctor I asked if Melatonin was ok and I got the thumbs up. Livesafer!!!! I bought the 5mg liquid Melatonin at the Healthstore and slept like a baby last night

      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.
