Does any one suffer with insomnia?

I did for the first 4 weeks. Sleeping has since gone back to normal the past three weeks or so

I consult my doc constantly....they make the big bucks, right? I have a great team and they've been very supportive.They told me that if I could never eat anything, it may be a stricture, but since I can eat some of the time it's probably food choices or eating too fast. I just backed off to protein and soups for a couple days and then I'll try to introduce foods again slowly. But everyone should really consult their own doc.

Does any one suffer with insomnia?

Quit often. I did before the surgery to but I seem to be worse with it after surgery. This would be the reason I'm writing at 330 in the morning:)

Does any one suffer with insomnia?

Yes. :-[ very frustrating. Its nearly five in the morning and I have yet to sleep.

The stall is finally done!!! Only lasted 5 day, which I know is nothing compared to some of you, but geez that scale can make you feel like a dang failure! Almost 40 pounds down, and tomorrow marks 1-month post-op. Hoping to lose another 30-40lbs by mid-July when my husband gets home.

Just remember that muscle weighs more than fat. Building muscle helps you lose fat/ burn calories faster, though!

I'm a life long insomniac...I have a sleep disorder. Now my meds don't seem to work at all! Averaging 2-3 hours night....I have a call into my doc to see if maybe they're. Not absorbing right.and lack of sleep slows weight loss!

That is exactly how mine is! I'm wondering if it is acid reflux! I didn't think this was possible post op' date=' but apparently it is according to what I've read. I just took some omeprozole to see if that helps and will call the Dr in the am. Keep me posted![/quote']

How are you feeling today

How are you feeling today

Was up ALL night! The pain is gone, I'm guessing it was gas from what I read. Took gas x like crazy, and its better. Gonna stick to liquids today, cuz I threw up everything I ate yesterday. How are you?? Is your pain still there?
