Unsweetened coconut milk has even less carbs than almond milk, and is also easy to make :)

Topic: RE: Magnesium deficiency

Lori, I have the sleeve but wanted to comment because I was found to have low magnesium at my 3 month follow up.  In hindsight, I think I have had it for years.  I would get muscle twitching/charley-horse type things on a regular basis.  This seemed to start years ago after a major surgery where nerves were cut.  And, since the charley horses/twitches were mostly in that same area, my docs never seemed all that worried about it.  

Anyway, after my magnesium was found to be low, I started taking a magnesium supplement and I haven't had another twitch/charley horse.  

Good luck!

Topic: RE: Pure Protein Vs. Premier Protein--Taste?

I couldn't stand the pure protein drink as well as many others I tried.  I actually like the premier protein drinks as well as many others because they are always sold out at Walmart.

thanks a lot.  However I did get a new prescription pantaprazole

and only took it 1 time and so far (knock on wood) no more coughing.  You are indeed right the nigh time eating.

Again thanks and wish you are doing better and healthy.

Some of the atkins bars are pretty good and low in carbs same with the zone bars like fudge graham.

Topic: RE: nighttime gastric reflux

I cannot stress this strongly enough: address this NOW. I spend 4 days in the hospital in February with aspiration pneumonia brought on by night time reflux. The first thing to question is if your band is too tight. If it is, you need to have some of the fill out. You should also make sure that you stop eating at least 2 or three hours before bedtime, and try elevating your chest and head when you sleep.

Topic: RE: Unable to eat or drink in the morning????

If you're having reflux at night, you're too tight. Take it from me - I was in the hospital for 4 days in February with aspiration pneumonia brought on by night time reflux.

When you get up in the morning, try drinking something warm - hot if you can tolerate it. That will, a lot of times, "wake up" and loosen up your band a bit. Early on, I could rarely eat anything except a protein shake until lunch time.
