8 days post op

I had my sleeve done last Wednesday. I am able to eat normal for but in very very small quantities. Pushing the liquids first. But since Sunday I haven't been able to sleep at night. I was up till 1am Sunday night 2am Monday and tursday and 1 pm last night or tonight and I've been up since 3am!! I'm not in any pain or discomfort other than not being able to sleep directly on my stomach but that's ok. I feel like I could run a marathon. These nights I'm up I've been deep cleaning my bathroom and bed room or grocery shopping or cleaning the kitchen and mopin floors. I have 4 kids I'm gonna crash sometime. Help?!?!

I can't even go to sleep let alone get up in the nigh! I'm gonna hit rock bottom but when and how do I avoid it :)

Not sleeping much either, but finally down to waking up once/night now instead of half a dozen! I definitely don't have your energy yet, though - care to share? ;)

I am in the same boat (surgery was 12/2). I was thinking it was because I was home during the day resting, whereas I'm usually so busy. Went back to work yesterday and was more tired last night, but still up Til after midnight lol. (Wish I was productive and cleaning though lol)

Are you eating regular foods? Like not liquids? Just small quantities?

Yes regular foods just very small amounts.

I know everyone is different post op. I am not supposed to have purées until next Wednesday, but I had some today and was stressing it so I'm glad to know that it's more dependent on the surgeon. Will still work on following my dr's orders, but glad I didn't screw anything up.
