Unjury Unflavored Protein Powder
Crkrjax76 replied to NurseTAB's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just got my sample kit in the mail today. I did the chicken broth and LOVED it!!! I could not taste any difference! It could be that I also added about 1/2 cup of regular broth to it after I had it mixed up. I have the unflavored right now in Jello. Just waiting for it to set up so I can try it! -

My Dr. will remove the gallbladder when he does the surgery because of issued after WLS. Luckily, mine's been gone for 10 years. -
Ms Crazy & the Pre-Op Diet Period
Crkrjax76 replied to Obeasta's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm currently 1 week in on a 2 week liquid diet! Started the diet the day I started my period! I feel you girl!! I'm not pre op yet, but I'm also emotional all over the place!!!!!!!!!!! I snap at everybody!! I went off on a guy yesterday on the phone because he couldn't understand what I wanted! I'm still on my Prozac though. My Dr. hasn't said anything about weaning me off it. So, all I can say is STAY STRONG!!!! -
And of all days, on my birthday! My husband picks on me and says I don't need them, he can tell them I'm crazy! HAHA! Hope it goes ok. I guess I'm just nervous that he'll tell me I'm not ready, even though I've never been so sure about anything in my whole life! And that includes giving birth to my son!!!

Liquid Diet Nausea...Anybody Else
Crkrjax76 replied to coolnessa22's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No nausea here, but I can't stay out of the bathroom!! I have had diarrhea since I've started! -
Liquid Pre-op Slip Up. Did I ruin it?
Crkrjax76 replied to erikaloftin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm doing liquid but not for pre op yet and I've eaten food too!! I would say buckle down and try not to eat any more! Believe me, I know how hard it is!!!!!! -
My doc says no abdominal exercises for 2 months post op, but every Dr. is different.

Aunt Flow during Surgery?
Crkrjax76 replied to coolnessa22's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started mine the morning I had my gallbladder removed. I didn't have the mesh panties. I had to "hold" the pad between my legs while trying to get over to the table. -
Question about red jello and bowel movements
Crkrjax76 replied to Crkrjax76's topic in Food and Nutrition
I laid off the red jello and things are back to normal!! I'm not actually doing the diet for pre op yet. Just to kinda jump start my weight loss. -
I apologize in advance if this is TMI, but I'm on day 3 of liquid diet. I've been eating alot of red jello and am now having very red bowel movements. It looks like I'm bleeding to death!! Someone please tell me this has happened to them and it's the dye in the jello!!!

2nd day into liquid diet and I cheated!
Crkrjax76 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel horrible! I was fixing my son a bologna sandwich and of all things, set me off! I couldn't stop myself!! I had scarfed it down before I had a chance to stop myself! I feel so bad. If I can't do 2 days on a liquid diet, what makes me think I can do this? Then I have to stop myself. Everybody slips up. It's not the end of the world right???? -
I have frequent diarrhea also. I haven't have my RNY yet, but I have to watch what I eat. We no longer have a gallbladder that drips bile in your stomach, it just dumps. My Dr. suggested taking a fiber pill every day. He said it almost does the opposite of what it really is supposed to do. It will soak up the bile. My mom had a colostomy bag and she also had to take fiber for the same reason.

I'm on day 3, and I have had the trots since I started this!! I haven't weighed, so I have no idea if I've lost or gained. I'm not having any stomach pains, but boy am I going to the bathroom!!!!

2nd day into liquid diet and I cheated!
Crkrjax76 replied to Crkrjax76's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just keep thinking, it could have been ALOT worse than just a sandwich!!! I am so looking forward to this tool! -
I'm on day 3. I will have to follow a strict calorie diet for 3 months, then do another 2 week liquid prior to surgery. I'm looking for surgery in mid-late June.

I don't have a surgery date yet, but I'm already nervous. My Dr. has started me out with a 2 week liquid diet. I already had my "food funeral". Eating whatever I wanted and eating all the places I wanted to. I also felt horrible afterwards, but I honestly don't regret doing it. It was like a last "hurrah" before it's all over!

For pre-ops who have heard RNY horror stories...
Crkrjax76 replied to Debbiebydesign's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you so much for posting! I'm making myself read both bad and good stories, just so I can say I know what I'm getting into. But, thank you again for your encouraging words! -
My son had to take it for constipation about a month ago. I finally mixed it in with Kool Aid and I was able to get him to drink it that way. It took him about 1/2 hour, but he got it all down. The Dr. told me I could mix it with juice too.
-
I haven't had a soda since March 15! It was HARD, but I knew I it was going to have to happen, so I quit cold turkey! I did have a "food funeral" of sorts. I had mexican, chinese, local root beer stand, local italian place, and some of my favorite homemade foods. I will have one more to go in May when I have my sisters biscuit and gravy.
-
You can really tell it in your face!! WTG!!!!!!

I bought one of those shaker cups with the metal whisk ball in it. That's what I've been using to mix it.
