Has anybody had sleeping issues!!?? I can't sleep. Even though I'm up by 6 or 630am by bed time I can't, I'm miserable!

I had my good days and bad days when it came to sleeping after my surgery. The first day after surgery I was hardly awake, used to get up only to vomit. But the 2nd and 3rd day I had very little sleep (less than an hour).

However, after I got home from the hospital I noticed that I either used to sleep too much or too little. I found Chamomile tea to be of big help. Try sipping it before going to sleep. It soothes you.

I also found exercising helps. Exercising half hour before bed time - only light hand movements and walks (I take walks inside my apartment from room to room), this makes me tired and then I sip the Chamomile tea and go to sleep :). This technique works well for me at least 5 days a week!

I get restless every time I have to take tablets :D. My doctor doesn't allow me to take Gummy Vitamins (heard from a few friends that they look forward to eating their vitamins) :mellow:.

Please try Chamomile tea, it really soothes you.

Yes I had major issues after a few days post op. I take Ambein any way and my primary doctor had to increase the strength from a 5mg to a 10mg. I'd been on it for a couple of years before surgery. I sleep pretty well most nights but am going to try the Sleepy Time tea to help me relax before bed. Try to get back to your regular routine and work routine when cleared. that helps too as well as exercise.

I hope my opinion is helpful to you. May God bless you and keep you. :D :1331_v_tone2:

      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.
