I have the dreaded early waking insomnia--I wake up early and cannot get back to sleep. I have no problem getting to sleep at night though. Some remedies that have worked for me: Designs for Health Insomnitol chewables (pricey, but I use them maybe 1-2 times a week as melatonin should not be used daily) , walking for exercise in the mornings, staying away from sugar/high carb foods, eliminating caffeine esp. after noon, Gaia Herbs Rhodiola Rosea, and Traditional Medicinals Organic Licorice Root Tea. I have tried many others, but these are the only ones that have helped me. I have a strange metabolism and many things affect me in an opposite way. For example, I am energized by magnesium instead of calmed.

I was sleeved on Feb 26th. I have terrible insomnia. I can't sleep and when I eventually do-I'm only sleeping for 3hrs at a time. I really hope this passes soon.

      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.
