Insomnia From My Shake's Splenda!



Recommended Posts

It's 7:51 on Sunday morning, but I've yet to go to sleep from Saturday. I just figured it out: my Matrix shake has insomnia-causing Splenda as an ingredient! I love this flavor, but I need to get some sleep too. I'll have to come up with a substitute today.

This insomnia can really cost me money. While I was awake all night, I redesigned my front garden for next year and decided that we need to get a number of built-in bookcases installed around the house.

Wait until HE wakes up and discovers what I've planned to do to the house in the coming months! (Well, I do need to develop new hobbies to replace eating!)

Are you recently post op? I had bad insomnia for about a week and a half after surgery. Asked my dr and she said it was normal. I started sleeping good when I went to work. I've never heard of the Splenda thing--makes me nervous to try it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
