Recommended Posts

I set June 22,2013 in Tijuana. Same day surgery, because I did not want to sit around and get scared about it. I'm excited, two months will fly by.

Did u already do your visits with your primary care doctor? I know that i am with Cigna and I had to hve that dne also. If u hve already had that dne it shouldn't take that long, just let the people know that are running the tests that you would like ur results forwarded to the insurance company or to the surgeons office asap

I responded to this earlier under Yahoo but I just see where it didn't deliver -

Congratulations! I'm happy for you. How much have you lost so far? I had it

on last Wednesday 8/21/2013 when I had my gall bladder removed. Can you

give me some suggestions for some good liquid Protein? Or maybe a shake

that you can't smell the Protein? I did pretty good with the Protein shakes before surgery, but they are not good now.

Thanks! I hve lost about 30 lbs so far! The Protein that worlds best for me is Unjury, it was recommended by my nutritionist, it's a little on the expensive side but it works the best for me. I only know for it to be sold on the Unjury.com website and they ship pretty fast also. They hve large containers or packets that I can buy to try. The unflavored protein I normally drink with OJ, and like a V-8 juice. And u can almost not taste anything! I love it. That's the only thing I've used for protein. They also hve a strawberry sorbet that is pretty good also. I also have some chocolate Splenda that I haven't tried that u mix with milk, but I do the unflavored every day sometimes twice a day. Oh btw sugar free Popsicles are the best when just gettin started. Makes u feel a little normal. Congrats!! Ask me anything at anytime!! :-)

Wow 30 pounds in 2 months is great!!! Keep up the great work! Thanks, I'll check out unjury.com today because I really want to make sure I get in my Protein. Well after Wednesday I can start pureed foods so did you mix protein with your pureed food? Yes, I was so happy when I found out about sugar free popsicles. They've been my saving grace - Lol. Have you been to any support group meetings in Durham? If so, when & where are they held? I had my surgery done in Cary but I don't really want to drive there for meetings.

Yes! U can mix the Protein with ur purée foods you just want to make sure that when u mix them the food temp is not more than 160 degrees or it won't mix well. I have not been to a group yet, but I know that there is on in Durham, u can check the website for duke.com I think and they will let u know the day and time, but I think it's only one day a month. Good luck with the purée foods!! Enjoy!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
