Hi Laurie. Good luck with your no tuna week and enjoy your quesadilla!

It will be the first time I've worked out at a gym since WLS.

Hi Laura, you have raised some good questions. I don't actually know the answers but may recommend trying some 'sleepy time' tea (celestial seasonings) to help you relax and wind down to rest. Also the vitamin shoppes and GNC etc sell a herb called { vallerian root } which is a calmative supplement. I think it is an ingredient in the anti-anxiety rx valium. Which could help you tune down the racy-ness. ( warning it does stink like old gym socks but if you can get it past your nose )...you'll do fine One thing that helps me get to sleep is a sound machine. I got mine at a yard sale for $1. It has several settings like : spring rain, heartbeat, white noise, babbling brook, and ocean waves. I put on the ocean waves ea. nt and off I go to dreamland. They are innexpensive in the dept. stores etc. * also I have a friend that swears that calcium calms her down and we gals can't get enough calcium. Let your doc know the Lunesta is NOT helping because he can try some other things maybe even via samples so it saves you $ as you search for what works. Hope you find some answers and relief. Mary

Congratulations on such a lovely family and wedding. You can be so proud I must say you look really great! In all that heat too you just simply glowed. Give our best wishes to the happy couple. Hope that you enjoy some relaxing time to refresh and recharge after all Mom's do getting ready and pulling off such an event.
