    protein powders

    Click here: Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage I use the unflavored Unjury to mix with most anything like soup, stew, pudding, juice, etc. I also use New Whey in liquid bullets. I purchase this at my local vitamin store. I use half at a time for 20 grams of protein. I like to add a little water and a couple of ice cubes.

    Sleep Apnea

    I have sleep apnea and never sleep without my machine, not even a nap because it makes such a difference in how I feel. Sleep apnea is a co-morbidity and as such help you get surgery approval. I had surgery on 9/28/07 and already need to call my pulmonary doctor to get the pressure turned down a little. Good luck with your insurance, hope you are approved soon.

    September 07 Roll Call

    Hello all, I was banded 9/28 and am doing well. I spent the night in the hospital on a monitor because I have had a couple of episodes of atrial firbrillation this summer and the doctor wanted to be sure the stimulation of the vagus nerve didn't start that up again. For me the worst part is the left neck and shoulder pain. It was pretty constant yesterday if I was in the upright position. Luckily not so much when laying down so I got some sleep. Today I'm home and the pain is off and on. I seem to get a cramp like feeling in the top of the stomach that continues up the esophagus and then the pain in the neck and shoulder. I am having no trouble with liquids and am even adding a little unjury protein powder to broth and other clear liquids. My doctor also encourages non-fat milk and I'm having some of that now. Love hearing how all of you are doing. This is such a wonderful site.
  4. I was banded yesterday and am having the left shoulder and neck pain. It was constant while sitting or standing but gone while I was lying down, so I was able to sleep. Today it is an off and on thing, not so much sitting but comes and goes while standing. If I burp it gets really bad for a few seconds. Will be glad when it is gone.

    Optifast advice needed

    I am on Optifast now in preparation for surgery on 9/28. I have the vanilla, strawberry, and vanilla. I like the chocolate best, but all are OK.
