Vicki, your hormones are readjusting to your new body. This is very normal at this stage. Our hormones are stored in our fat so as we begin to loose the fat our hormones just go wild. It should only last another week or so. I've started drinking a cup of warm light soy milk with just a bit of cinnamon and a packette or two of Splenda. Its give me a boost of Protein and knocks me out real nice.

Of course if it continues, check with your dr. And make sure its not being confused with dumping.

I agree, check w/ your doc. Could be a symptom from your vitamins.... I was very sensitive to niacin.

Vicki s, Niacin made me feel really jittery. I talked with one of the docs I work with and he did say that niacin could make me feel that way and suggested taking that at night so I could sleep thru it. I think it has helped me.

Be careful with Ambein cr. I had bad side effects from it. It made me very aggressive in bed, but I would not remember much of it. I would have just flashes of what had happened. My husband said it was really strange for him, because I was not myself at all. Then I would not remember it, and I think that hurt his feeling some.

Music..If I get aggressive in bed, the only one with hurt feelings will be my pillow LOL................

Well at least take your pillow out to dinner first - its only fair!!

on a serious note - Make sure you put your car keys up some where safe. I have heard of people driving on CR.

My sleeping pills-Ambien- wears out very fast, initially it kicks me out quickly, but only for about 4 hours... Sometimes I take another dose mid night and have another 4 h of sleep, but this doesn't solve the problem, because I can only refill 30 every month and I will end up being short... I am also on 10 mg, which is I believe max. I will talk to my doc, I guess :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
