Sorry Everyone!!! I haven’t been on to give updates! I honestly haven’t even been on my phone for days...

I’m home now! That damn gas has seemed to all leave my body now! I’m on liquids and Soups and Protein Shakes for another two weeks. Then I go back and see my doctor again to hopefully move to the next stage. Iv got some soreness in my stomach but that’s now surprise. Iv been trying to get some walking in but it decided to snow here in Nebraska so that put a damper on my walking...except for my Aunt and Uncle took me to the mall for early morning senior walk...so that was nice, to be indoors.

Let’s see what else...I stayed two nights in the hospital. I didn’t want to, but that damn gas had me messed up for pain. It’s crazy how it does that! But once it’s gone it is like a switch and boom the pain is gone!

Oh and Iv been trying to get my daily Water intake accomplished. It’s not easy, but I’ve been getting about 64oz of water in a day. Plus getting in around 100g of Protein in a day too!

Hey Manpower what strength is a green stretchy rubber thing that the use in rehab and PT at the gym? My former one gave me this, I'm probably supposed to be exercising with it, guess who hasn't. Yepper, little,me! I start a new round Wednesday, I am having trouble with my left shoulder area. Hurts so bad it wakes me up from a sound sleep. I'd,like to have,my,bariatric firstare and then have the shoulder fixed. I told my,ortho it would be done before September or I'm Mary Queen of Scots. I don't know when. but it just can not ..go on much longer. 😩

Green is Medium to Heavy Resistance. If I remember right it goes Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black. Where Yellow is lowest resistance and Black is highest resistance. Stretch Bands can be used well for exercise! I can’t lift any weights right now, but Iv been using my stretch bands for just my arms while I’m sitting in a chair!

Thanks, got an idea for a personal one for this,AM . Legs have been kind of achy, lie on my,back, bend knees up to chest then use Mr Stretchy and kick them out straight. Like to do,15 but I'll see how I feel after the first 5. The journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step. I think that may be an old Chinese proverb. Smiles and blessings on your day MANPOWER! ,,,,,,Frust8

Yes that would be just like a leg press! Just be careful to not have that band slip off your feet and come back and smack you in the face! Iv actually seen that happen a few times.

Yee-ouch! I'll be careful, funny the leg presses were always one of my favorite exercises. I hated the ones to stretch my calf muscles, especially since my left ankle from. my uncasted left ankle-tib-fib avulsion fx is semi froze. What happened , I did it while out fishing, stepped in an animal hole , caught it trying to pull it out I probably avulsed it myself. Went to an Urgent Care affiliated with Grant Hospital in Columbus. it was on the campus of Otterbein College, was called Grant Otterbein, probably,funtioned for the college and the nearby,public. They Xrayed it, said just a sprain and Ace Wrapped it. Sent me home and joked "Just don't do b it again!" Now I have had beaucoup sprains, sure didn't feel the same, but they were supposed to be the pros. Tuesday Morning the Radiologist from main Grant calls and asks " how are,you getting along with your walking cast?" To paraphrase the Treasure of Sierra Madre---"cast? I ain't got no stinking cast! "he says. " Hmmm well its a little too late to do the right thing now. You have a definite fracture and you've avulsed the ends off of your tibia and fibula!" Tra la la, isn't that just lovely! And it has never been quite right and that was 40 years ago. Maybe someday I'll get it some straightening out with surgery but I'm used to the cranky old beast. And at this point there are onlyb2 surgeries I desire

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
