Where does everyone buy their protein shakes?
Mommagiraffe replied to marfar7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I buy Unjury from my dr, and I'm trying to find somewhere to buy Isopure that is cheaper than GNC. -

Effects of Protein Shakes
Mommagiraffe replied to miss_cee85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am loving the Chocolate Splendor Unjury in skim milk. I make about 8-10 oz in my blender bottle. I don't have any gas issues with it. -
Just ate my one meal for the day...my spinach tasted sooo good after nothing but protein shakes!

Mommagiraffe replied to shannyd4's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I came home last night to find my approval letter from Anthem!!! :D I left my insurance coordinator a message (at midnight lol!) letting her know, so she can call me in the morning to get scheduled! -

Starting my pre op liquid diet on Tuesday and I'm so scared!
Mommagiraffe replied to allysonk2009's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
I'm not to the pre-op diet yet, but when I 'need' to munch, I chew ice. My dentist hates it, but it really does help. -

July sleevers! Are we ready!
Mommagiraffe replied to shannyd4's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My insurance coordinator called me as she was submitting everything...she is optimistic that we will have the green light by the end of the week. NOW I'm nervous! -
I just downloaded the forum app for my iphone, but I can't log in. I use my facebook as my sign in info on the pc, and linked my app with my fb. I tried signing out on here and logging in with my user name and the password I set up, to no avail. Any advice??

My insurance coordinator is sending my packet in tomorrow, and she thinks she can get me on the surgery schedule for the last week of July! Fingers and toes crossed!!! -
Are u big enough?
Mommagiraffe replied to VivaDiva01's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I get it, and it seems like the people asking are almost angry about it. I'm (barely) 5' and 223, but nobody believes me when I tell them that! I'm not that little...I don't get it. -
My Dumping Syndrome horror story (read if you dare)
Mommagiraffe replied to HatheryOnHerWay's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh you poor thing!! I had that fun little syndrome for almost a year after I had my gallbladder removed...I never strayed far from a bathroom!! -
Is it weird that I am scared of losing weight
Mommagiraffe replied to Just Corey's topic in Rants & Raves
I haven't been sleeved yet, but I am worried about the weight loss too. In the last 14 years, I have doubled my weight..and then some. It took me a long time to realize how big I am- I still don't 'feel' like I am big...nor do I feel small. I don't know how I will feel when I am small again. -
Moms and girls: our attitude towards negative self body image
Mommagiraffe replied to M2G's topic in The Gals' Room
My daughter is almost 7, and has already asked if she looks fat in things...and the only juiciness the child has is her tiny bubble butt. She knows that I have been seeing a dr to lose weight, and that I will have this surgery. We talk about eating healthier, and she asks about carbs and protein in foods. Our food talks started before I started this journey...she wound up in the hospital with and obstructed/impacted bowel, so we always look for high fiber snacks for her. Like you, I hope that she fares better than I have...and that the PCOS doesn't hit her like it did me. She's discovered that she likes sports, so hopefully keeping her more active than I was will work in her favor.
