Restless sleeping



Recommended Posts

Hi, I’m new. Just had my surgery and was approved for phase 2. I’ve lost a total of 15lbs so far. But I’m still sore and it’s hard for me to exercise. My question is, does anyone else have problems sleeping? My legs get so restless I am literally up all night tossing, turning and stretching. Is it just me or is all this Protein have something to do with it?

I've been the same way but my restless leg syndrome seems to have gotten worse. My family physician put me on baclofen before surgery for rls and it's very effective. My psychiatrist is very diligent and this medicine doesn't interfere with my other medications. Good job on your weight loss! It only gets better in time. I am just 6 months out .

I'm extremely happy with the results and wish I would of had my surgery 6 years ago, I let my mom talk me out of it 6 years ago. I could never imagine it would have felt this good to NOT walk around with so much weight on me.

I am prone to severe leg cramps, and sometimes have rls along with them. I take Triple Calm magnesium and it helps so much with the leg cramps. I do have to make sure I get enough sleep and extra fluids, as both those issues make leg cramps more likely.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
