Just got the statement!
Vicki Loichinger replied to lilmickey78's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
wow wow that is a bunch of money so glad you part was so small. -
that makes me smile. I am so happy for you. My Hubby is very supportive too. Not always totally understanding of the process but not negative in any way. My family has been very supportive also. And it does truly help.

Unflavored Protein Powder
Vicki Loichinger replied to worm2872's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just got this in an email hope it helps UNJURY Unflavored: the Right Ways to Use Unflavored UNJURY can be added to beverages and many foods. Here are some of the favorite ways to use. First, do not mix UNJURY Unflavored in plain water. In water, you know it’s there. But you will be surprised how completely it disappears in fruit flavored Crystal Light, Orange Juice, Jell-O recipes and more. That is partly because UNJURY Unflavored is so clean and so thoroughly ultra-filtered. And unlike some similar products, UNJURY Unflavored has no added sweeteners or flavors. If you are lactose intolerant, please be assured that UNJURY Unflavored has 0 grams of lactose. Many customers who are lactose intolerant do well with UNJURY Unflavored. Favorites (these will vary by medical situation): Beverages (mix in 8 oz., or 16 oz. if desired): Orange Juice/ Orange Crystal Light Fruit Flavored Crystal Light... Fruit Punch, Raspberry... V-8 Juice Smoothie Recipes (see our website www.UNJURY.com or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Milk for Cereal Coffee (not hotter than 140 F)* Food: Jell-O Recipes (see our website www.UNJURY.com or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Yogurt - Start with a third of a scoop and mix to desired consistency Applesauce - Start with a third of a scoop and mix to desired consistency Oatmeal (e-mail Nutrition@UNJURY.com for recipe or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Cream of Wheat (e-mail Nutrition@UNJURY.com for recipe or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Pudding Recipe (see our website www.UNJURY.com or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Soup (*note temperature information below) Tomato Sauce- Start with 1 scoop and mix into 1 cup of tomato sauce Mayonnaise -Stir 1 scoop into 1 cup mayo[1] (use to make chicken salad, tuna salad, egg salad, as sandwich spread, anywhere you use mayonnaise) Salad Dressing- Start with 1 scoop and mix into 1 cup of salad dressing Pudding popsicle recipes (e-mail Nutrition@UNJURY.com for recipe or call 1-800-517-5111 for details) Be sure to visit UNJURY on Facebook atwww.facebook.com/UNJURY to view more recipes and usage ideas! -

Unflavored Protein Powder
Vicki Loichinger replied to worm2872's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Ladies, you might try adding some of the plain into one of your flavored proteins as a shake. maybe a scoop of your choco and half scoop of the plain to up the protein and to get rid of it. If you are eating yogurt you can hide it in there pretty well. I have stirred it into soups pre op but yes you do want the temp to be around 130. Not sure about cooking with it. But I bet if you wrote Unjury,com they could tell you how you could cook with it. -
That is so awesome. Wow what an accomplishment. Hope you heal quickly from the GB surgery. I am so happy for you.

Surgery was a success!
Vicki Loichinger replied to B14K3's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
wonderful news. may the healing continue. So glad you are doing well. -
The gatorade 2 orange flavor has been the best tasting thing since surgery. I have started diluting it some. I am really bad with plain water, it has to have something in it. I wish I wasn't like that. I go see the NUT tomorrow I will ask her about this.

Im Fred, 23 and about to have the Gastric Bypass Surgery
Vicki Loichinger replied to Lovebone89's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Welcome you will find a wealth of info and support here. Good luck on your procedure, sounds like those who have had it didn't have any issues so that is a good thing. Again Welcome -
Has Anyone Tried Body By Vi Shakes?
Vicki Loichinger replied to Jerrie Ann's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I have had these before when my sister had signed up to sell them. The flavor is awesome. But you would probably need to add some unflavored protein to make it beneficial for us post ops. Defiantly something to run by your NUT before investing in them. -
Woooohooo i got approved today !
Vicki Loichinger replied to Myskinnydreams0605's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Doing a happy dance for you...Wasn't that just the best phone call ever. Wishing you the very best. I am about 13 days out from band to RNY so far so good. I have no complaints. -
Just getting started
Vicki Loichinger replied to Lissa.Shrinks's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Welcome we are so glad you found us. You will find a wealth of information and support here. Any questions just ask.. Also the search feature at the top is wonderful, just put in a word you want to know something about and a list of previous posts comes up. Jumping through the hoops seems to take forever and is almost harder than the surgery itself. I am not quite two weeks post op so everyday is a new day and a new learning experience. Again Welcome. -

Welcome and so glad you found us. There is a wealth of information and support on here. If you have a question just ask, somebody will know the answer or lead you in the right direction. Again Welcome and wishing you the best as you jump through all the hoops pre op. -
Linda so good to hear how well you are doing. I understand the not sleeping. I can't seem to stay asleep for very long and have the strangest dreams. I drove for the first time this morning (I am 13 days out) felt kinda weird but I made it back home and didn't hurt anybody lol. Wishing you continued healing and please keep sipping like BB said. You do not want to get dehydrated. Every day is a bit better for me and I find I am getting a handle on the fluids, protein and vitamins. Not perfect but better every day

praying.
