I'm the same date as you! I am having trouble sleeping because of my incisions - can't get comfortable because I normally sleep in my side. I've been taking melatonin and having some children's Tylenol at bedtime and it helps some.

I haven't had surgery yet but take OTC Unisom occasionally if I have a couple nights that I don't sleep well. It definitely helps with the staying asleep.

I had trouble too mainly because I'm a side sleeper and sleeping on my back just doesn't happen. So while I was awake all day, I was very groggy and tired. And it has taken a couple months to get over the constantly fatigued feeling - and it really has taken me forcing myself to exercise despite the fatigue to start feeling like I have more energy.

      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?

      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.
