Weird Question



Recommended Posts

Hi ALL -

I have a weird question. Has anyone had trouble sleeping since they had the band put in? I have been having so many bizarre dreams since the band - these dreams keep waking me up. They are all different and it is not a re-occurrung dream about the band or anything. I was always a dreamer - but it never bothered my REM sleep. I have been so tired lately and I know I am getting the proper nutrition and rest so what's up?? The only pattern that I see is this all started after I had my surergy (which was on April 29th).

Anyone else have this issue?

:tongue:

I've also had problems sleeping I use to take ambien last summer and since the band my doctor has put me back on it. However last summer I would take it for like two or three nights and be back on a sleep schedule but so far that hasn't happened yet. I've already taken 10+ since I got the perscription in mid June and last summer I would have 10 for four months. As for dreams I've always has weird ones but I remember them more often than I use to. I hope this helps and I happy to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this.

OMG!!! I am experiencing the exact same thing. It's not that I can't find a comfortable place, I mean a little because I use to sleep on my belly but what keeps on waking me up is the dreams. They are crazy type of dreams, I thought it might be the vicodin. I have also always been a dreamer but nothing like what I have been experiencing lately.

By the way I was banded on August 16, and doing great. Feeling beeter each day.

      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.
