I find when I am in a fasting state, I have more energy and slept very little. I use to do juice fast and would be up for no reason. Once you get food and not Clear Liquids in your belly, you should be about to sleep well again

Are you taking pain meds? If so, some pain meds have adverse reactions in some people. Some will make you sleepy while others amp you up. I used to be able to take morphine based pain meds with no other reaction than resolving my pain. Now I take a morphine based pain medication and I cannot sleep and I while I don't feel "jittery" I do feel somewhat energetic. You may need to talk to your Dr about giving you something else if you still have pain. I have suffered from insomnia since I was a young girl, now days I take a couple of Kirkland (Costco) pills before bed and sleep just fine and don't wake up hung over. Kirkland Allergy pills are simply Benadryl and I get 600 for 5.00 while regular Benadryl are several dollars for a few pills. They help me sleep and I don't need to take them every night just sometimes. I take them 30 minutes before bedtime and sleep great.

I take Melatonin every night to help regulate my sleep. It has worked very well for me.

Please call your surgeon or his team for medical advise. If you are taking prescription medications, such as pain meds, there is a risk of interactions with over the counter medications. Benadryl, for example, can increase side effects of pain medications and there is a risk of overdose. sleep is important, and you do need to find out what to do, but getting medical advise from people on the internet is not wise.

Melatonin is all natural and contains only what ur body already produces and would be harmless

All natural doesn't mean safe. Arsenic is all natural, and produced in small amounts in the body. I certainly wouldn't recommend ingesting it.

Melatonin can interact with blood thinning medications, high blood pressure medications, immunotherapy medications, seizure medications, medications for mental disorders, and can cause complications in people who have clotting issues. Serious issues are rare, but they can certainly happen.

As a nurse I have been ordered by doctors to give this to patients who are on blood preassure meds and anti phychotic meds as well. Check with ur DOCTOR.

I literally cringe when I see people telling others that it's OK to take certain medications or herbal supplements.< br />
ASK YOUR DOCTOR!!

Only he or she knows about possible drug interactions, allergies, physical side affects that pertain to you as an individual...

Strangers on the internet should never ever replace his or her medical expertise.

@@nikita30, you might want to ask your surgeon if you can take some sleeping aid to be on the safe side. Are you still in pain? If so, sometimes pain will keep you awake.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
