I know it bothers him when I do it, but I cannot lay in bed awake all night. Any suggestions other than the usual melatonin and magnesium?
I kick mine a lot lol . I know for my husband though it's a weight thing, when he is sub 200's we don't have this issue. Hang in there!
I found some earplugs online that I am going to try out. I think it might take a bit though as they are being shipped from across the pond! I also spend a lot of time kicking or pushing him to turn over. Problem with him, he snores in any position.
Lois, I will be trying the magnesium citrate you recommended in the Cave. Who knows? I wish I could convince him to have a sleep study done.
Dittoing all of the bolded. I have ended up sleeping on the sofa, and he felt bad and told me to wake him up and he will sleep on the sofa. Then I feel bad. He keeps telling me to record it so he can hear it, but I don't have the heart!
I got my magnesium citrate through the post today, they are fecking HUGE! I don't know how I'm going to swallow them. You can have up to 400mg, but I'm going to start with 1 pill and go up.
The mag citrate I bought came in softgels, so I hope they won't be a problem. Good luck. I know I have a hard time with large pills if they are not coated.
They are coated, but I have an issue with pills. I kind of panic and my throat freezes up. Then I try and swallow and all I swallow is the water and the pill is still in my mouth so I have to get more water etc. I got there in the end, its a bit like stage fright, but swallowing pills. Once I've done it a couple of times I'll probably get over it.
That is me with the uncoated tablets. Anything dry that might stick in my throat will do it. I have gagged myself on those before. I had some large L-Lysine tablets that would try to choke me. Lots of water is all I can recommend and making sure you have a rescue person nearby in case you choke!0 -

I usually chew food till just before I swallow it. Then I stick the offensive pill in the middle of the food and swallow.
Kind of hard for me to do at bedtime. I usually take all my supplements before bed.0 -

uuuuh, not sure about a baked potato never tried that, its normally butter or baked beans. I didn't know it was in coffee cake, I'll let that one slide because, cake, and I don't think I've known it to be on/in a stroganoff. If it makes you happy Mel, you can have sour cream on whatever you want
I will. I like it.1 -

Ha ha I find all pills offensive. If I think about it I struggle. If I'm in pain, it goes down a treat (I wonder why!)
I'm that weirdo that can dry swallow any pill. I mean I take water because taking pills without anything in my belly makes me nauseous, otherwise meh.0 -

Sour cream and chives on a baked potato are great. And in stroganoff (although I haven't had that on over 20 years).0 -

Yeah, Danny is the same. Every time he is just like: *swallows* gone *shrugs* "I don't see the problem". *kitten*.
Not you, Danny. 2 -

Since I'm low-carb and can't have potato, I'll take your word for it POF. Although, I'm pretty sure I could make stroganoff low-carb...0 -

Yeah, POF, I can't imagine stroganoff fits in your vegan lifestyle. That is a ton of dairy and meat in one dish. But it's yummy. (Confession: I haven't made it since my celiac diagnosis. No wonder losing weight was easier this time.)1 -

I second the potato with sour cream and chives! Tacos, Nachos, Burritos, Omelet's (spelling looks weird), Pretty much like 85% of what I eat I will probably put sour cream on it...and not just a "dollop of daisy" I'm talking like a MOUNTAIN of daisy!

You aren't Catholic, are you? Not that you likely know that Protestant Irish wear orange as a declaration of allegiance to the Church of England, but there you have it. I am from an intermarried family and am wearing green pants and an orange sweater today. My ancestors can fight over me. 4 -

Hi! St Patrick's fun fact for yall!
I grew up Roman Catholic but consider myself more spiritual/pagan as of late. I'm of Celtic heritage as well (although I am truly a European mutt). Yes I am wearing green

I missed that, somewhere. I forgive you for not wearing green. Like I said, I wore both and let my ancestors worry about the troubles.2 -

We all have days like that. Learn from it, make positive changes, and move on.0 -
In honor of Saint Patrick's day, yesterday I turned green and started coughing up and blowing out of my nose nasty green stuff. Someone please tell my body that the celebrations are over. My tolerance for nonsense is very low today. MIL nonsense seems to be high today. I told hubby that he will be the best one to take care of her today. He is.0

First of all you are not fat, you may have more fat on you than your wish, but that does not define you.
As a person that has spent much to much time talking negatively about myself, I wish to tell you to stop that!
If some one has defined you in this way and made you believe it, I suggest you limit your time with that person.
You deserve more than that.
As for your food diary we have all been there and will occasionally be there again. Today is a new day and is full with possibilities.4
