Anyone have Insomnia Post Op?



Recommended Posts

So glad someone posted my exact issue! For one, it takes me forever to fall asleep (my mind races with thoughts) and I have the craziest dreams. I will wake up from the dream and then my mind races again keeping me up for an hour or so. At first I thought it was pain meds but I stopped those two days after surgery. Both are new issues to me after surgery. I was sleeved April 3rd.

So guys..there is a major shock to your system, followed by a tidal wave of hormones from stored fat, not to mention mental changes you deal with like hunger issues etc.. Is it any wonder that sleep patterns would change?!

I found myself having bouts of insomnia until I really ramped up the working out in week 6. Hitting the gym five days a week and sleepy time tea have helped.

Its insane. I'm up till 3-4 am' date=' and the crazy thing is I'm not even super tired when I wake at 7. Whats up with that? Reduce your calories, reduce sleep? Anyone else, or am I the only weirdo?[/quote']

You are definately not alone. I was sleeved on April 4th and I have slept horribly. It takes me forever to fall asleep and I wake up on and off all night. I had ambien that I was prescribed previously but never took. I asked my surgeon and he said it was alright to take. I took half a pill last night, and although I fell asleep fast I didn't stay that way. I am going to try a whole pill tonight. I hope it gets better!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
