Sleeping Patterns Post-Op

[seattle sleeve 1]

My sleep has gotten better post op. I used to get up to go to the bathroom once or twice during the night. Every night. Since surgery I haven't gotten up in the night once. I can sleep in a lot longer but I don't think I'm sleeping super hard. I still wake up the minute before my alarm goes off.

Exact same here! Maybe it's nutrition or maybe it's that I haven't had any caffeine since my surgery! I was definitely not an addict but I'd make chai with black tea and have a cup a day and have a french vanilla Cappuccino from mix sometimes. i definitely want to have both in the future, if I start waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom again afterwards that will probably pin it down!

OMG My sleep is HORRILBE I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op and I can't fall asleep for NOTHING! I have to get to the point at like 2-3am where I am so dead to the world in order to fall asleep and then I wake up a few times (really dry mouth and need to drink) and then wake again by 7am The only thing I have found that was/is helping me is Nyquil but I know I can't keep taking it

I will admit that I have been having a little bit of caffeine lately but I am still sleeping through the whole night! YAY! )

Ok speaking of Nyquil above... I've had a cold for the last few days. I decided to take some of this to help me get a full nights sleep. Well, the stuff made my stomach feel like it was ON FIRE!!! I got scared, almost like I wanted to call 9-1-1... I drank some Water to help dilute it in my stomach and that did help. But shortly after if felt like my thighs were burning and like rubber. Sooo weird.

It did put me right to sleep though. However, I think I'm going to start taking it in pill form. The liquid on my stomach was too much of a shock.

OMG Thats crazy and scary!!! I took the Cherry/Mint flavored one and of course at first it was hard to get a full 2 Tbls down but I started to cut it in half and I was fine!! I hope you find something that you can take to help your cold!!
