1a. Can't Eat or Sleep

Jimi:
Two ideas:
1. Call your surgeon's office and let them know what is going on. You
don't have to wait until your appointment to consult with them.
2. Consider having a sleep study to see what is going on. I had mild
restless leg syndrome (a sleep disorder) before surgery but it got
much worse after surgery due to lower iron levels. Now I take much
more iron and a medication to help with the RLS. You might have
something like that or another problem - not getting sleep can be
torturous. Don't let it go untreated.
Good luck!

Jimi,
I had that too for a while. My surgeon put me back on my Elavil, and also gave me a scrpt for Ambien which I only take occasionally. I use a CPap and I have Restless Leg Syndrome too. Ask your surgeon if he can give you something, or recommend something.
I also had trouble eating. The only thing I was able to eat was cottage cheese. I couldn't do any protien. I talked to the surgeon about it and he wasn't worried. Said it was normal and it would be like a switch one day, I would just feel better and it would all come together. He was right. ONe day, I ate, had no nausea and had much more energy. Now, I sleep, I eat and I'm losing. Oh, and we walk for at least 30 minutes 5 times per week.
Good luck!!!
Denise

Ugh! Im the same way on the sleep issues... It gets very bad at times. I keep putting off calling the doctor. Afraid of having sleep apnea!
