Hi @robs477 and @newanatomy! You guys are so sweet for checking on me!!
I'm doing ok. Slowly progressing. I'm one month out now. Down 32 pounds!! 10 pre-op and 22 post-op. Still dealing w a lack of energy. I can't wait for that to change. It's VERY frustrating. W 4 kids and everything I need to do I don't have time to be tired! I still have to be conscious of getting my liquids in. I'm getting between 30-40 grams of protein daily from food but can eat only an ounce at a time. I try to eat every 2-3 hours. No bathroom issues right now. I started a multi vitamin but not vitalady's regimen yet bc I can't handle all those pills yet. I hit a stall last week but the scale seems to be moving again. The last few days I've had trouble getting to sleep. I've been wide awake until 4 am. Hope that's temporary.
Compared to a month ago I'm doing much better. Lol! I'm no longer wondering WTH I did to myself. I've been a little AWOL lately mostly bc it's a slow progression so I don't have much to report. Sorry about that! I do lurk but it seems to have been a little slow on BF lately regarding new postings. Membership is increasing though so that's great!
I'm going to go check out your posts and see how you guys are doing.

Try OTC melatonin. I didn't believe it would help, but it really does - especially for me, who is on the computer (and thus exposed to light) until the wee-smalls every night. I weaned myself off of Lunesta (which I still adore, but I was on it - albeit only 1/2 of a 3 mg tablet - for several years and thought I should try something else.
