I didn't have any difficulty on the milk diet, hope things improve soon

I didn't do the milk diet so can't help, just remember, no matter how hard any of it is, it is WORTHWHILE. x

Day 3 is the worst, it gets better after that. I didn't feel hunger really from day 4 to op. Just keep your eye on the prize

Perseverence thats the key, i had a relaxation tape with head phones of an evening, with that and my cpap machine, going finally used to drift off had 1 of Paul Mackennas tapes, that used to relax me lovely and then intoi a sleep and passed the time away if I was needing to keep myself busy rather than eating something I shouldn't, worked a treat and in hospital kept me calm xx stick with it not long now, you'll be that exhausted you will be looking forward to getting put to sleep because you need the rest. xx be too tired to carexx

You could try filling your stomach with a nice herbal tea like camomile or whichever you like. The combination of heat and weight in the stomach can trigger postprandial sleepiness and make it easy to fall asleep. You might have to get up to pee in the night though it works for me.

It does get better. The worst is the first 5 days. Keep focussed. You need to be in the right frame of mind for after the op anyway, so it's really worthwhile staying strong. Just remember this is the last time you'll have to do this!

I didnt have any problem, but why not try lactose free milk, to see if that helps you with sleep at all?
