Post-op Insomnia anyone?

[kjwrn 129]

I'm going on 4 weeks post op and I am having problems sleeping! I was having sensations where I just had to move my arms and legs a lot so yesterday I went to my doc to have my Vitamin levels checked since I have a history of being deficient in Iron, mag, and Vitamin D, but everything was perfect. So I imagine it must just be some weird hormonal thing, ugh it sucks though!

Had my sleeve done 4/20. Sleepless right now. Ughhh. I hate it. Yes. It's been harder to sleep. Did have a few nightmares. Now I think I have insomnia because I'm not as active as I was prior to surgery when I was working and working out trying to lose weight for surgery. I'm also worrying about going back to work.

Hmmm. Its strange that this far out you guys are getting headaches and insomnia...

Are you guys on a multi Vitamin??

I know that high doses of Vitamin B6 causes insomnia and nightmares/vivid dreams.

If it is over 100mg... try not taking it for a day or two and see what happens.

Perhaps try having an egg or some turkey for dinner. tryptophan in turkey/eggs help assist sleep.
