Oh how did you sleep last nite? I couldn't sleep thinking of you on that air mattress. Should I start a collection for a new bed??

Nah, it's ok Lila. I hope to either get my bed shipped here soon, or find a yucky used one somewhere! It's not as bad as you'd think... it's a 'double-high", so I don't have to drop down to get into bed, or crawl out! I did sleep ok. Took a little while, but I tried to go blank, first said goodnight to and relaxed every bit of my body (had to restart 10 times, cause you-know-who kept talking!). It was ok. Maybe I was just loving the ease of falling asleep like that.

(and oh yeah! I woke up at 4:50 and ran to the bathroom! Milk of Magnesia works! and continued to work all morning. I credit it for getting me out of the 200's. I didn't want to be constipated on a weigh-in day!)

Aunty Green, pharmaceutical queen, may have advice for you, Argon. You should be aware that Zyban is a stimulant and should be taken in the morning. You should also be aware that over the counter sleeping pills tend to raise the blood pressure. If you have elevated blood pressure you should talk to your doc and have him/her prescribe something instead. (I take imovane/zopiclone when I can't sleep. My doc prescribes this for me.) I only run into problems with sleeping when my depression gets out of control but some people have problem with sleeping due to stress issues. This is why it is not a bad idea to talk about your sleep problems with your doc.

You might also try reading a boring book before going to sleep! Sometimes this works for me. lol

I actually knew that, about the Wellbutrin/Zyban, and thought that could make matters worse. I do purposely take it first thing in the morning because of that. The Dr. only gave me 2 months worth of Wellbutrin, so I'll be going back soon.... I will mention it, and see if they can suggest anything, and/or prescribe anything perhaps. But then, if I get a prescription sleeping pill, what would stop me from treating it just like the non-prescription, and gettin' hooked too? What is that pill, I've seen commercials for.... Lunesta! Do we have that here? I'll look it up.

So, thank you guys for the well wishes and congrats! I'm very happy with myself today. I made a little Post-It note that said "1986" (code for 198.6) and stuck it on my monitor so I could stare at it all day. :eek:

Also, I want to purposely say, that I am gonna be here for a LONG time. I've joined many a online weightloss support groups, and eventually disappeared with no warning from all of 'em. (atkins, weight watchers, cabbage Soup diet) I'm not gonna disappear, and if I suddenly get a life, I'll let y'all know. I hope you all do the same!

Thank you, thank you :)

Next week may not be quite as good. You see... it was my birthday yesterday, and I was given the opportunity to pick out my own cake. Couldn't find one I was happy enough with, so I resorted to a DQ icecream cake! Just a normal one, luckily not a blizzard cake.

But... I'm on my 3 or 4th piece since we got it. I'm in one of those 'I just gotta get rid of it so it's not in my freezer anymore!" modes. Anyways, for that reason, I'll give myself a pass that it's ok if I don't lose, or even gain next week. I am quite alright with it!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
