I'm 42 y/o male who was at 321 prior to surgery and 6 days out I've lost 21 pounds.So far so good but I'm wondering if anybody is experiencing insominia and not to mention the mood swings. Is all this expected and when will I sleep!!! I sleep 2-3 hrs straight and then it's gone. Not to mention the Mental Hunger thats been driving me nuts. Thank You in Advance for all your help.

The mental hunger is really something, I wasn't expecting that. I was sleeved on the 8th, I think I doing well, but I am very moody as well. Sitting here most of the time thinking why the f did I do this.

I think we are in the same boat dude.

I was sleeved on September 27th and had the same issues for a short while. I kept thinking something was terribly wrong and that I made a mistake. The insomnia was bad but I found that melatonin helped a bunch! I didn't have to take it very long. Once I wasn't sore anymore and was able to sleep flat, I didn't have the insomnia issue anymore. It will pass. Every new issue or struggle I go through, I think is awful but I am reassured by friends and doctors that it gets better...and you know what, It does. Just take it one thing at a time and be patient...it will pass.

      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.

      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.
