Sleep...Where Did It Go?

Before the surgery, I could fall asleep anytime, any place. Give me a good 5 minutes and a sista was OUT.

Well, since the surgery, sleep is not easy to come back. I lay down at night, and It takes a good 30 mins for me to even nod off. I don't nap anymore...which in a way, is not really a bad thing.

Has anyone one else had a problem with sleeping since the surgery? What do you do? Does this wear off?  I am only a month out...does it get better?

When I lay down at night, I WANT TO SLEEP.  I appreciate any suggestions!

A lot of us have insomnia. 

I use to go to bed and stay awake thinking about being thin.   I don't have a problem sleeping now a days.

  I can tell you are a newbie!  you've missed my sleep posts.....

LOTS of insominia around these parts and LOTS of 'alternate, OTC' fixes for it too!!!

Reisling
Bourbon
Vodka (my current mainstay)

OTC sleeping pills (for those of us whose stank AZZ docs see us druggies comin!)
Ambien
Lunesta
Try-ya-besta be sleep
and all them other ones..... LMAOOOOO

4 years - not any better for me

LOL @  OTC sleeping pills (for those of us whose stank AZZ docs see us druggies comin!)


I'm having my check up with my surgeon next week and I think I'm going to have to break down and ask her to write me a script for some sleeping pills.  I didn't want to have to go there, but it's getting worse.  I am tired as a mug.

LOL!  My problem is that I ain't tired with less sleep - I just wanna sleep!  and I like the high feeling - so Imma druggie plain and simple.......

I sleep very little now.  Something I learned is if I'm tired or sleepy I'm getting sick or I have a vitamin deficiency. 

Join the club. I find taking one or two 5-HtP's 100 mg a day helps me, I purchase them from the surgeons office they are suposed to help with carb cravings also.
