Favorite Unjury flavor and sleep apnea...



Recommended Posts

What a combination! Anyway going to the pulm dr tomorrow for my sleep study follow up. Got a call from my surgeons office this am to see if I have a cpap machine since my report said that I have severe obstructive sleep apnea. Although I am not surprised by this, I'm kinda freaked out hearing it.

Anyone use Bariatric fusion? I ordered their sample set too.

I like the chocolate splendor mixed with skim milk heated up with a tiny splash of sugar free salted caramel Torani Syrup. A real treat and perfect Breakfast as I'm less than 2 was post op. I also have the chicken broth one. It was just okay alone but was like a yummy gravy when mixed with Water and cream of chicken Soup.

I was just diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea last week too! I was SUPER freaked out/depressed about it until Friday when I got the actual results back in the mail. Turns out my AHI events were 36 an HOUR! I read that and it snapped me out of being depressed/freaking out. I realized I am glad this is happening now so I can be better. The NP also told me that it's better to be diagnosed with this now because it will make surgery easier for myself and them.

All in all getting the apnea taken care of is a good thing. From what I understand you will get a better nights' sleep. I have also heard that you will be happier and less tired throughout the day. Good luck! :)

Thanks guys! I am waiting on my approval and will hopefully get in on April 21. I got my Unjury stuff today so at least I'm prepared for my 10 day preop. How do you mix the chicken Soup with Water and cream of chicken. Equal parts?any way to jazz it up w/o the cream soup?

I love my cpap machine! I was so tired all the time each hour of the day was a chore, but sleep did not refresh me. The mask is no big deal once you get over being self conscious. It was not a magic cure all for weight loss or high blood pressure that they want you to think it will be, but the value of waking up refreshed is worth all the inconveniences. Make sure you get one with that adds moisture to the air.

I was recently asked and asked and asked again to have a sleep study done by my PCP. Believe me when I tell you that I fought him for months. His persistence finally convinced me to have the test. They told me I woke up over 300 times a night. OMG, you folks are nuts is all I could say. Snake oil salesman, this is the latest way to rip my insurance company off is what I said.

That darn PCP kept pushing, finally I agreed to try the machine. Honestly, it is life changing. I wear it nightly and have no problem admitting I was totally wrong. Rested, refreshed and ready to rock and roll daily is how I feel now. I had no clue how poorly I felt. My surgery is now scheduled for 4.18 so I may not need it for much longer but trust me when I say my inclination is to wear it versus not wear it.

My favorite Unjury flavor is chocolate Splendor. Mixed with PB2, skim milk and ice in a blender is terrific. I also make a Protein Shake with chocolate splendor, Torani salted carmel Syrup, a section of banana, skim milk and ice.

. What is their reason for saying it will make the surgery easy and easier on them?

I am really not sure. I meet with the surgeon next week and plan to ask him about it. Maybe it helps when you are put under?

      April Surgery
      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.
