Well im reporting back on my sleep!!!! I cant say for def it was the banana smoothie BUT fell asleep at 10.30 woke at 4.30 for the loo straight back to sleep and my hubby HAD to wake me at 6.30 as I have my grandaughter this morning but I could have slept easily til 8 ish YEHHHHHHH somebody did mention yest that bananas cause fluid retention so im gonna think about that one but im def gonna source some almond milk as almonds are in the sleep list and the choc almond milk sounds lovely???? on a plus side I did enjoy the banana smooth it felt quite tropical laid here drinking it lol so tonight I might put a pink parasol in it!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone else with your trials!!!!
I mentioned the banana overdose problems. Just would hate to see everyone on here suddenly discussing their swollen ankles and feeling bloated as a result of eating bananas every day!
Great to hear you got a better nights sleep. I only got 4hrs then I was up crafting again. I find my leg is too uncomfortable to be able to stay in bed once I wake up. Have got my first physio today so expect to be really tired tonight.
My husband eats 1/2 banana every day to help with stomach problems - has been doing so for a few years now and has never had a problem with swollen ankles or bloating.
Good for him!
good you did lu its always worth bearing it in mind so im gonna try the almond milk see what thats like??
I think you will be tired pru so hope ur sleep is better x x
Thanks. Me too.
Wow will have to try that tonight I went to bed at 10 was 2 before I got to sleep was awake at 4 then again at 6 wasn't in pain just couldn't sleep
Glad you had a good nights sleep. I have lots of bananas and as long as I make sure I drink plenty of water as well, no problem with fluid retention. Yes you have to keep going to the loo, but that's good exercise and your body needs the water. I generally sleep from 10.00 until 5.00 , cannot get out of the habit of getting up early, but I do occasionally have an afternoon nap if I have done a lot.
I had a banaba before bed and still woke at 2.30, 4.30 and 5.30 , bathroom visit and then decided enough was enough at 5.30 got up. Made a cup of tea, massaged my leg/s had another cup of tea and read my kindle for a while. Had breakfast at 8, now to decided what to do for the rest of the morning. Craft group in the village this afternoon and this evening going to a miniature club (dolls houses) tonight so will have lots of chat and a project to make or bring home to do another day. I will say I feel more rested.
I eat one or two bananas a day & have no problem with fluid retention. If anyone does, I would have the Doc check your kidney function. Renal disease is a very silent problem, only picked up when down to 10%.
