  • Popular Post

I took two weeks to get my approval from the insurance but I finally did! I am so excited and can't wait to see what the future holds for me. My doctors office sent out my packet today with my scripts and all my instructions. I am nervous because its getting closer and soon! I hope everyone is doing okay!!!!

The b-12 injections aren't really expensive here in tn you can probably get a whole year for around 20.00 and that includes syringes....i hope they can get it approved for you....and yay good luck to sept approvers!!!

How did you all do?

Well my surgery didn't start until after 430 was in recovery forever about 830p in my room. Nothing really hurt but the gas pain in my shoulder and chest. Came home on wed and struggling with the pain from gas still. Gets better everyday but. ..ugh. how about you

My surg was over and i was in my room fairly early.... They let me come home on Wednesday as well....i had gas pains in my stomach....something awful....I took mylicon drops... Helped tremendously.... Drinking my shake as we speak :)

I am having a hard time with protein powder what kind do you use? Seems like it causes more gas when i mix a shake up

I am using no sugar added Carnation instant breakfast with fat free milk (10 ounces) and adding extra scoop of chocolate protein powder from gnc that has 20 grams of protein a scoop...makes it about 35 grams a shake...tastes great

Hmm i bought some carnation but realized it wasn't the NO SUGAR ADDED so haven't been back to the store. I bought alot of different protein powders but just don't sit right on my stomach. Hopefully every day will get easier
