Second night in a row I am up at 3-ish in the morning with leg cramps.

This happened before when I was on the Atkins diet.

Anyone else? Any tips?

I take liquid vitamins and eat half a banana a day for extra potassium, I am certain I am not getting as much sodium that I need because I am craving salty food.< /p>

My mouth just squirted reading about Pickle Juice, I LOVE pickle juice. I'm going to get some today. Thanks X.

Also, yes, Highland, I thought I might be dehydrated because my tongue was kinda fuzzy. I'll drink Water and pickle juice today. I'll have great breath hee hee!

Awesome! There are many professional atheletes that swear by it. I tried it myself when I started working out. It really does work and yes it is absolutely delicious!

I mentioned my leg cramps to my nurse friend at my surgeon's office and now I'm off to the Imaging Center for an ultrasound. I guess post surgery leg cramps could be a sign of a blood clot. I'm sure it's not. I just need some Vlasic juice and agua. I'm on my way so will let ya'll know what they say later.

I just got home from the imaging center. On the way home my doctor called me and said there are no blood clots in my legs!

Yay!

She said to drink lots of Water and take the prescription narcotic again before bed.

Now I'm exhausted from just that little trip but later am going to get my Pickle Juice.< /p>

Thanks all!!!!!!!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
