Hi Everyone,
Drop and line and catch us all up on what you've been up to!
I'm halfway thru my school program, still dating the guy from WAYYYYY South Jersey, and maintaining my weight loss for year # 3. I'm up and down the same 10 pounds, but never more than that, but haven't lost anything either.... OK, it's still all good! I miss our group, and the good feelings from sharing everyone's stories! Hope to catch up with you all again soon!

Topic: RE: Trouble sleeping after my gastric sleeve surgery advise
Have you ruled out all the 'normal' stuff that interferes with sleep?
Are you having pain?
Acid reflux?
Are you moving around enough during the day to leave you physically tired at night?
Are you getting up to pee every hour?
These are all things you can try to control..... If if a pre-existing insomnia, or something similar, the surgery didn't change it.... if it is not, there are so mnay reasons it could be happening... your body dropped 25 pounds, your experiencing changes in everything else, so a changed sleep cycle isn't unheard of. My advice.... tough it out for a few more days..... if you're still not sleeping back to normal, call your Doc's office and see what they advise....
You're not in it alone.... just get up in the middle of the night, and POST! LOL....

Topic: Trouble sleeping after my gastric sleeve surgery advise
Hi all my name is Mariella,
I had my surgery 13 days ago and I'm doing good still in the liquids getting my shake so I can get my 60g of protein... However I'm having a hard time sleeping. I sleep for one hour and I get up. Last night was my second night that I could not sleep.... I pray every night that this will go away because I was so happy to start this journey.....
I started at 253 and I'm down to 228 that's 25 ld should be celebrating but the lack sleep is not good... Please advised and I want to kno who else has gone through this and if goes away?
