Crkrjax76 replied to Miche11e's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My last one is June 5 and then the waiting game for the insurance submittal and hopefully approval!! It has went very fast for me too!!!!! Good luck!!! -
I can do the strawberry sorbet too really cold, but my problem is my surgeon says NO ICE for 6 MONTHS!!!! I don't know what I will do without my ice!!!

I pretty much grew up an only child. I have 2 sisters, but they are 18 and 16 years older than me. Same situation with my son. He's 6 and his half brother is 26. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it!!!

Pre-op...too much protein? constipation?
Crkrjax76 replied to bjroberts417's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like you need more fiber. Also, are you taking an iron supplement? That will cause constipation as well. -
I'm hoping for late June!! My last NUT appt is 6/5 and then they send to insurance for approval!!!

Pinched nerve not allowing me to exercise!
Crkrjax76 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had been doing sooo well on my recumbant bike. I was up to 17 minutes averaging about 3 miles. Now I've got a bulging disc that has pinched my sciatic nerve and my whole right leg is pretty much useless!!! AARR!! I can't sleep, hurts to sit, hurts to stand, can't ride my bike. But I am still doing my upper weight exercises. And on a positive note, I found a recliner!!! -
and I'm down 14 lbs. Ate a salad for lunch and let me tell you, it was the best salad in the world!!!!

Unjury Unflavored Protein Powder
Crkrjax76 replied to NurseTAB's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Well I put the whole sample packet it. I think I put it in while the Jello was still too hot because it was NASTY!!!! -
Anybody tried the Unjury cheese sauce?
Crkrjax76 posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just ordered some. They have a sale BOGO free. -
I've got to get a schedule down too. I'm taking Synthroid and have to take on an empty stomach at least 4 hours away from any vitamins. So, that kinda makes it hard!!!

My time has flew by. I went to the seminar on 2/28 and have had all my pre op testing and clearance appointments required by the surgeon. I have to do 3 months supervised diet for insurance. So it's starting to slow down some since I don't have 2 appts a week. HAHA! Good luck and it will fly by before you know it!!!!

Newbie waiting on mental health appts!
Crkrjax76 replied to Judy A Travis's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Mine was pretty simple. She just asked me some questions, then I had to do a MMPI test, which is 567 true false questions. Took me about 45 minutes to take. I passed with flying colors! -
2-week pre-op diet....ugh!
Crkrjax76 replied to anm1063's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on my last day of my first 2 week liquid diet. I go to the dietician tomorrow. I can say I have cheated some, but nothing huge. -
My 17 yr old niece was supposed to move up here in May to help me and hubby during my surgery and recoup time. I mailed power of attorney papers to my sister in case I need to take her to the Dr since she is 400 miles away. My brother is law is now having a fit saying she can't come until she turns 18 in August!!! AAARRRR!!! My brother in law is very verbally abusive to his family and I wanted to get my niece away from it. My sister chooses to live with him, I can't stop that. But I thought I was getting Maegan away from him. My sister told me that she could come up after her graduation in May. Now I'm sure she won't go against him and sign the papers. She was also going to babysit my 6 yr old this summer instead of me having to pay $140.00 a week for summer camp (and that's the cheapest I could find). I just feel everything is falling apart!! I have come so far into this to stop this surgery now!!

I bought a sample vanilla protein powder from CVS and tried it this morning. I now know what everybody was talking about the smell!! It was horrible!! I took one drink and dumped it down the drain!! I go to the NUT Tuesday and I will probably be put on 2 week liquid diet then, so I was trying out. Now, I'm scared I won't be able to tolorate them!! I have some Sentrax Nectar samples coming in the mail. Please tell me not all of them are this awful!!!!
-
Just mixed one up with water and can't drink it. I don't know if it would be any better mixed with milk or not.

I had my cardio appt on April 2nd and it was NOTHING!!! He listened to my heart, asked me some questions, checked my legs for swelling and said OK I'm going to recommend you for surgery. I had to have an echo done because I had open heart surgery when I was 5 as I hadn't had one since since I was like 10.

Unjury where have you been the last week?
Crkrjax76 posted a topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I just got my samples from Unjury yesterday and all I can say is why didn't I order them sooner? I ordered the Syntrax Nectar samples and can't stomach them. But I've tried the chicken soup last night and couldn't taste anything!! Just mixed up a Strawberry Sorbet with a Lemonade Crystal Light and same thing! Can't taste a thing!!! -
Unjury where have you been the last week?
Crkrjax76 replied to Crkrjax76's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Are you getting it too hot? It says the texture will change over 140 degrees. I think I got the chicken soup too hot today as it clumped real bad. I have one of the shaker cups with the wisk ball, and I mix in that and pour into another cup.
