(from Wiki) Low and high Protein intake inhibit magnesium absorption. Magnesium calms your nerves by coating the receptors. It reduces pms, it's important for a healthy nervous system, cellular energy, hormone regulation and the relaxation and activation of muscle tissue and will prevent you from being restless throughout the night.

When you lose weght you mess with hormones (releasing them when you burn fat), you increase cellular energy, gain muscle tissue if you're being active...no wonder why you're having issues. I expect the same very soon.

Three quarters of all Americans eat a diet that is deficient in magnesium, according to a report published by the World Health Organization. Try it out, and I wish you speedy sweet dreams ;)

Six months out here and I too have trouble sleeping, I won't fall asleep until almost 5/6am and end up sleeping until the afternoon. I just lay in bed all night tossing and turning.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
