problems with sleep

I am 3 weeks and 2 days post op and I haven't had a goods night sleep since I woke up from surgery :( its very odd for me I've never had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep! Hell I LOVE sleep and naps hehe my husband use to gripe I slept to much now usually I fall asleep for one maybe two hours max then I get up walk around and up for about 3 to 4 hrs :( this was okay when I was off work for recovery I could take naps but now makes for a lonnnggg day when I have to focus at work ... if you had this problem what helped you the most?

I'm 6 weeks out n sleep is still not good. I used to sleep well. But, it's better than it was 3 weeks ago :)

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and not sleeping great either. I was just like you. My family always said I was like a cat I liked to sleep so much. Maybe it's that "new" energy they say we're supposed to get? I don't know but I don't feel energetic--just tired.

what a coincidence...I was just telling a friend today that I don't sleep as early as I used to. In the evenings I sit by the fire, natural tranquilizer normally, but not anymore!

I'm over two years out and sleeping a lot worse than I used too. After I hit puberty I have had bad insomnia issues, since being sleeved they are worse.

I was tossing and turning till 12:30 last night, got up and stayed up till 3:45 then went back to bed only to wake up about 5am. I've tried a few sleep pills, Ambian and Lunesta but they only help you fall asleep, not keep you asleep or make you sleep. Sucks.

After gastric bypass I am not able to sleep through the night - even Ambien does not help other than to help me initially fall aslerp

There's a natural product called knock out its got melatonin in it that doesn't work for me but this product has 3 herbs in it that do work for me maybe it could work for you I've only seen it on Amazon

Yes I have had the same issue! I was sleeved on 12/11. I spoke with my surgeon about it on my 1 week post op appt. He said I was the second one that week complaining of sleep issues. He told me to try melatonin. It helped a little but I'm still restless. I hope by the time I go back to work I'm sleeping better.

I have the same problem. My Dr prescribed triazolam and that helped.

I have insomnia which i have been sleeping ok until this last week. I have been up till until at least 4am or till 6am.

Deff gotta get this fixed soon
