Second night in a row I am up at 3-ish in the morning with leg cramps.

This happened before when I was on the Atkins diet.

Anyone else? Any tips?

I take liquid vitamins and eat half a banana a day for extra potassium, I am certain I am not getting as much sodium that I need because I am craving salty food.< /p>

Ok I know this is an uncommon treatment, but serisouly...drink half a cup of Pickle Juice. Yes as in pickles in a jar. Trust me it works.

My mouth just squirted reading about Pickle Juice, I LOVE pickle juice. I'm going to get some today. Thanks X.

Also, yes, Highland, I thought I might be dehydrated because my tongue was kinda fuzzy. I'll drink Water and pickle juice today. I'll have great breath hee hee!

Awesome! There are many professional atheletes that swear by it. I tried it myself when I started working out. It really does work and yes it is absolutely delicious!

I mentioned my leg cramps to my nurse friend at my surgeon's office and now I'm off to the Imaging Center for an ultrasound. I guess post surgery leg cramps could be a sign of a blood clot. I'm sure it's not. I just need some Vlasic juice and agua. I'm on my way so will let ya'll know what they say later.

I just got home from the imaging center. On the way home my doctor called me and said there are no blood clots in my legs!

Yay!

She said to drink lots of Water and take the prescription narcotic again before bed.

Now I'm exhausted from just that little trip but later am going to get my Pickle Juice.< /p>

Thanks all!!!!!!!

      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.
