I get leg cramps at night unless I take a magnesium tablet every day. When I run out and forget to get them, I get cramps again. They also help with constipation issues.

My 1 year bandiverary was in May. I have lost 82 pounds on this wonderful journey. I still have 50 + pounds to go, but I feel so much better. My daughter and I are doing this together and it is the best idea we ever had!

I have always had a problem with eating at night. I can't sleep so I think if I eat I will be able to. I love the idea of the list of ten things that don't include food! I will try that and if that doesn't work I will eat a can of green beans!

I have had allergies and sinus issues for years with post nasal drip and a terrible cough. Since my surgery in May I have not had one problem. I have no idea why but if this is a side effect of lapband I will take it.

How did you stop "the bingeing late into the night"? That is really my problem! I eat well during the day and then double my calories after 8 p.m.

When I am suddenly hungry and can eat more it is usually because I have been eating more carbs (usually not the good ones). Tuesday I was shopping all day and ate hash browns and pizza and by the time I got home I was starving (probably not enough protein). I ate 2 bowls of protein cereal, a protein shake, and some cold chicken and I was still starving. Normally the chicken would be all i could eat!
