Newby with Fibromyalgia
ImaDucky replied to ImaDucky's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dear Karen, I've been worried about the pain of this surgery too, because of my fibro. and other issues. I'm sorry to hear you are suffering so much. When I had my gall bladder surgery it took me much longer to recover than the average patient. I did finally recover. Hopefully if you can bear this for another month at least - (it took me 2 months) I believe you will see a marked improvement. When were you diagnosed with fibro? Of course I'm not a Dr., but can tell you from experience that it is not unusual to suffer greater and longer than others from any invasive surgery due to our fibromyalgia. Have you ever heard of 'going by the signs'? I wonder if the day of your surgery was not a 'good' day for that procedure. I firmly believe lunar cycles play a great part in all nature, from growing crops to having surgeries. I hope you don't think I'm a nut.. lol. This is not something I usually discuss with people...hehe. I hope you feel better very soon. I will pray for your pain and recovery, that the Lord will ease your suffering. Melanie -
Hello All, It's been a couple of weeks since I was last on-line. Catching up on all that's been going on was definitely worth it. I've seen so many praises and blessings that it would be difficult to name them all. Just a reminder of how wonderful is our God! Welcome to the newbies! - Congratulations to the banded! - Blessings, hugs and prayers to the poor in spirit! Lately I've been falling into the 'poor in spirit':huggie:category and would ask that you lift me to the Lord in your prayers. I do have some great news... Surgeon Appointment Dr. Woodman - June 17th We will set a surgury date on that day! :driving:WOO-HOOOOO!!! :thumbup: God bless you all,

Congratulations Christy and Diamond . . .:rolleyes2: on your safe surgery and new band!!! It's so wonderful and encouraging to hear your personal thankfulness, excitement and hope for the future. I hope to be banded soon - all my preop testing will be complete by the 30th of May, so I'm not far behind you! God Bless You Both!

Yes, I am a 'girl' quacker...hehe - so chica would fit! Can you tell me how many grams of protein do we need in one day on the liquid diet? I know you said use 2 scoops (52g) and 8 oz. water - is that 3Xper day? It just sounded like a lot. Also want to let you know that the surgeons office called me to set up pre-op testing!! WEEEE! I'm so looking forward to losing! Thanks so much for your support!
-
WOO -HOO! ImaDucky is approved! That is awesome! (I almost called you "chica", then realized that I don't actually KNOW that you are female! I just assumed? Let me know! LOL)
And WOW on that protein you found! I'm going to have to go look for that! FYI, use the two scoops per 8 oz. of water...that gives you the full 52g of protein, and you need that!

Hey Lady! Just saw your note re: protein. I got a wal-mart brand called Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. It has 52g protein per 2 scoops. I wasn't sure how many scoops we were supposed to use, so I started meal replacement with 1 scoop/8oz. water. This is just to help me lose a little more pre-op and get used to the liquid thing. I actually have lost 9 lbs. !! yeah! p.s. How's the ole' t.b.? Hope you are better.

Hey Terry, Things are really moving for you. Thanks so much for keeping me updated, because I'm right behind you. I just received a surgery approval letter from my Insurance Co. today. They cc'd Dr. Woodman and I expect to call his office Monday. This is so exciting! I Just have to do the "happy dance"... :woot:...lol. -
Sorry I've been away for a few days. First, I just want SmilinApple to know I'm praying for her re: burning/pain on her lap band. Second, Diamond you are in my prayers re: you mother's health and your surgery date of 5/20. Next, Welcome! to Caelyn, Kvonbe and Numbrgirl and anyone else I may have missed! I would like to ask for your prayers for myself. I've become very sick with sore throat, coughing til I'm sore and fever. On the flip side, I have some great news! Just wanted to let you know, I received a surgery approval letter from my Insurance Co. today. They cc'd my surgeon, Dr. Woodman and I expect to call his office Monday. This is so exciting! I Just have to do the "happy dance"... :woot:...lol.
