Still Having Big Problems and I Need Suggestions



Recommended Posts

Ask your Doctor's office if they have any free samples. That is how I tried the Unjury. I don't think I would have ordered because I have dropped so much money on Protein and it would just kill me to spend more on something I hated. I don't know if I could add it to my Water. I think the texture would be a huge turn off but ya never know. I eat things now I never thought were good before...and food I loved before is nasty to me now. If you try it, let me know how you like it in water.

I've already bought some Unjury before. It seems to stay more clear than the other powders. I tried it and it's not half bad. A little thicker than Water, but give me Protein. I put in 1/3 scoop of strawberry Unjury, packet of benefiber, and almost a whole packet of raspberry lemonade Crystal Light in a 16.7 fl oz bottle of water. It is sippable. Besides, I found that I really didn't like the strawberry Unjury as a shake. The chocolate isn't bad tho.

Just an FYI, your UTI may be a result of being cathed during surgery. I hope you feel better soon. I will keep you in my prayers.

I'm a 40f size but I had a hiatal hernia repair and really struggled to get my fluids in. I am still only able to eat small amounts of well chewed food and really only about 4-6oz of soft mushie stuff like hot Cereal or yogurt, Soup etc. I think the esophagus has so much to do with the difficulty. I am past 9 months out from surgery and after only a few (3-5 tablespoons of any food) my bra strap center of my chest becomes so tight that I have to loosen it...even then the tightness is there so it's not really the bra strap it's the esophagus I'm thinking. I hope you find a way to resolve the issues. My surgeon had me on reglan, (for motility more than nausea), early on while in hospital and afterwards at home. That medication caused me to get extreme anxiety and I had to stop taking it. I still have issues and am trying to work out the quirks from this surgery. Best wishes to you finding resolution to this and any other issue that may arise.

My first full shake in down in the new stomach!!! Since my surgery, that is the first shake I have been able to finish, plus I don't feel miserable and am able to sip on Water afterwards.

Thanks to you all for your suggestions! Everything seems to be on the road to recovery and I am feeling so much better...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
