(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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
