I guess that's what I'm experiencing. Little annoying but hopefully it goes away soon.

Hey all! Just want to let those of you that may not have heard that we also have a very good and VERY private group going on' date=' on Facebook. It's not meant to replace this at all.. it's just another resource. Personally, I like it. I feel like we've got a little family going on over there. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Anyway, you can't search it because of the privacy settings. the only way to get in is to message me with either your email address or your facebook name. If I have to find you using your facebook name, I will have to add you as a personal friend before I'm able to add you to the community.

Just thought I'd put it out there! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />[/quote']

I keep sending you my info for Facebook. This is my last try mariehornback@yahoo.com :-) my email and screen name are different.

I think I finally made a ticker and am I had to go on the site. Hope you all have a wonderful day and we all reach personal goals. I also had hiccups and they were annoying but they go away once more air leaves your body. I look and feel much better. I cleaned the gross sticky tape off..thanks Aviva for letting me know to use some alcohol. I also weighed myself and I think I am down another 2 lbs but again its on a different scale so I am not counting it. I am going to tutor today. summer school is closed on Fridays. I am sure ill come home exhausted but that's okay with me because my body is doing a fantastic job with healing! enjoy your morning everyone!

I was banded the 17th. I also had a hiatal hernia repair done at the same time. That is my biggest source of pain right now. Not feeling the best. Pretty down, actually. I know I will feel better soon, but man it hurts to breathe. I am having minimal if any pain from incisions, its the darn hernia surgery that is causing my pain with every breath. I lost 45 lbs prior to my surgery, but still have quite a ways to go. I am still up 5 from the Fluid from surgery, but I know that will go down in time. Just sipping on my Clear Liquids and looking forward to full liquids starting tomorrow. Then I can have a shake again and help some of the hunger and energy issues. Been having lots of nausea, but the meds seem to be helping take the edge off of that. It sure is a process and quite the journey. I know it will be worth it.

Good morning everyone!!

It's been a long week 1 post op I must say. I have my 1st post op visit with my doctor today. Totally sick of Protein Drinks even though there are many more to be had. The mushy stage seems so far away but I'll be glad when I get there. Nagging back/shoulder pains still come and go. I hope all of you are steadily progressing!!! Have a nice day :-)

Discount Protein products?

Okay guys, I need to catch up on the thread but need your help while I'm thinking of it. I'm starting to get my hunger sensation back and am

1. On a very tight budget

2. SICK of my chocolate/vanilla/strawberry Protein Shakes.

I'm willing to buy online. Please reply to this thread with suggestions; I'm in the purée phase and already eat 1-2 Greek yogurts a day it seems.

Thanks!

I also tire of my vanilla and strawberry powders. Sadly I don't care for the choc ones. To make them more interesting I've been into smoothies. Strawberry powder with some diet lemonade blended with ice is diff enough that it feels like variety. And then you can get more elaborate from there.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
