I've been on pre-op diet for 3 days now and every night I have restless legs and a hard time getting to sleep. I normally don't have this problem. Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone know why it's happening or what helps? TIA!

It can be caused by dehydration and a lack of salt. Try drinking more Water and see if it helps. My Mum has it and tonic Water helps her - it's the quinine in it.

Also if you're lacking in magnesium that is usually the biggest culprit. You can take a supplement for it.

It's 100% lack of Calcium. I went through it pregnant and I went through it now because I was only taking one Gummy a day instead if the three. It had to be calcium citrate. You need more stomach acid to absorb carbonate and after sleeve you don't have much. The day I started taking three I was better the next night.

      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! 😞
