Post surgery recovery was a lot more difficult than I anticipated, but now the only problem I have is that I am not sleeping through the night. I sleep for a few hours and then need to sit up for a couple hours. I ve lost 27lbs so far, but it's hard to be excited when your lacking sleep.

I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping :-( best wishes for a good nights sleep soon.

kss, can you ask your doc for a prescription to help you sleep or could you ask him if you could take the new liquid over the counter med made by nyquil but it is just for sleep.

I have really bad insomnia and have for many years. I take ambien every night. I sure hope I can continue it post op.

There may even be other things that can help, melatonin, (health food store) and I think there is a "sleepy time tea" But you need to check with your Doc. Sleep is very important part of healing. Hope you get some rest soon.

Thanks. I am honestly scared to take more drugs. I don't know if my stomach could handle it. I'm sleeping like 3 hours at a time. Seems to be getting better.

You sound like me when I got out of surgery my first three days were like why oh why. Well my surgery was August 2, I have lost 94 lb. and sleep about 5 hours a night but have so much energy now I feel like I am 21 all over again
