Heard a new one today...Oatmeal can help you go to sleep

Was talking with a friend (coworker) about my sleeping problems. He said "have you tried oatmeal before bed"? He said the carb rush will make you sleepy and will aid with the sleep process. Makes sense?? Yes? No?

Is your friend a weight loss surgery post op? Oatmeal and Peanut butter are 2 things I do not eat, only because they send me into a 45 minute coma. So, it makes sense to me but probably not for the general population.

I can & do eat carbs - sometimes on purpose to get sleepy. I avoid them at lunch when I'm working for the same reason.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

"Carb Coma" definitely works.

Oh my goodness, I am so glad you posted this. I don't usually have problems getting to sleep, but lately, I have been having trouble more often (is that normal post-op?). I never thought of a "carb coma." I do have a question, though...I know we are not supposed to eat before bed...and I have friends *****ally can't eat before bed for various reasons. True?

It can also help you create an ample supply of breastmilk, just thought I would throw out that useless tid bit since I have no idea if it will help you sleep.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Too funny...

Those were the days, back when I had perky boobies...Losing 200 pounds has been simply wonderful, and I am so thankful and greatful for my good health, but these boobies of mine are so saggy...I tell everyone that I no longer need to buy bras, as I can tuck them in my ankle socks...HAHA!!!
