Anyone struggling with Insomnia

I'm 15 days post lapband revision to sleeve. I'm not in any more pain so I'm not on any pain medication. However, I cannot sleep at night. I already take a sleeping pill and anxiety pill but nothing is helping. Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions?

My sleep has been all over the map! I always have trouble after surgery. I don't know why but it usually takes me a month or two to starighten out after my bidy goes through a trauma.

I'm 4.5 weeks out and cannot sleep at night and fight falling asleep all day. I work day shift and this is not going to work well for me!

I had a problem with insomnia early on. I found that if I had a high-protein dairy snack before I went to bed, then I could sleep. Try cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. Something easy to digest.

Also, don't exercise before bedtime. And take Calcium and magnesium before bed. They help make you sleepy. Take multi- Vitamin early in the day.

If none of that works, call your primary care physician.

Did u take pain meds post op? I had horrible insomnia and restless legs after stopping my pain meds. It actually look a couple weeks to get back to a normal nights sleep.

What is your anxiety pill? Is it an SSRI? Were you on it preop? I could never sleep on them, even when taking Ambien. They affect your serotonin levels, which play an important role in your normal sleep cycle.
