(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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
