Trouble getting to sleep

Ever since I started the pre-op diet 12-13, I have been having issues trying to get to sleep. I was sleeved on 12-27 and about 50% of the time my body jerks myself awake just as I'm starting to doze. I have never had this problem before. . Anyone else.

    Yes I did!! I never had anxiety either until after I was sleeved on Dec 9, 2016. I took an rx from the doctor for one week that helped me relax and sleep and then after a week my body went back to a natural sleep rhythm!! Talk to your doc and good luck!!

    Yes I had the problem when I came home. I had to get up every hour for the first 24 hours after surgery. After that I would doze asleep and then I would jump out for no reason. Then the slightest sound I heard would wake me up as soon as I doze off now I am just up all night lone watching LMN

    Are you on any kind of pain medication?

    No, I am not on any pain meds. I was lucky to get off those within the first week Now that I am back to work, it is not as bad, but happens occasionally. Spoke with the Dr at post op, and she had never heard any other patients complain about this It could definitely be my thyroid, but I don't have any other symptoms that would prove to be that. I have been on thyroid meds for 17 years and never had that... normally it's the palpitations that I get first. Thank you all for the ideas... I just now got the notifications.

    Do you take thyroid medication? You may need the dosage decreased.
