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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
