Swedish Massage Here I Come.



Recommended Posts

I have had an issue with neck and shoulder pain since my lap band surgery. I was told that at first it was gas, then months went by and they said it could be that I am eating too much at once or to fast, even when I'm not:( So now, 4 months later, I have decided to go another way around this and see if it helps.

My husband bought me a visit to a Chiropractor for a Swedish Massage. I have never had a massage before, but have heard they are awesome. I am starting to wonder if I have a pinched nerve that is causing the pain, so we will see if this helps. I have been told they can give me pain killers and muscle relaxers, but I already take enough pills as it is, I'd rather not. Too bad I can't get in until the 9th of June. I'm so ready for this to go away.

Massages are so therapeutic! I get one at least monthly. I usually do Thai which is more stretching with some massage. I hope u enjoyed it & it made u feel better. Sometimes u feel like crap after them bc it releases a lot of toxins & flushes them out of ur system. That's y they want u to drink lots of Water after.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
