ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....



Recommended Posts

It was $100 to become distributor for it works. I read some negative stuff too. But the girl I signed under has showed me her own before and afters and it really made a difference. Someone posted that they used it and it worked, but a few days later it came back and then some. I think you are supposed to use it like every 3 days. You don't just use it once and stop. I figured it couldn't hurt, maybe if I start at the beginning of the weight loss my skin won't be so saggy. I haven't used it yet, waiting on steri/strips to come off.

I have staples and steristrips. I don't mind titanium, since I have a titanium hip!

I have to give myself the blood thinner shots in my belly. Don't like that. And today is the first day that my throat hasn't hurt like crazy. But my shoulders do. Weird.

My nurse told me that many people experience shoulder pain. It is the gas working it's way out. I know it sounds odd, but apparently it's true. Maybe the gas rises and manifests in your shoulders?

Thanks, I had heard that gas can hurt in the shoulders. Knowing others experienced it first hand helps. I will go use my massager on my shoulders, put my feet up, and forget it!

Quote I was intrigued by your mention of It Works body wrap. So, I did a search for reviews. The best place to look is Amazon.com. Type this is the search box: It Works! Body Wraps. (1) Ultimate Body Applicators (Health and Beauty) The reviews were eye opening, everything from 5 stars to 1 star. What was interesting is that 93 people gave it 1 star, but only 49 people gave it 5 stars. The discussion is very interesting, so I recommend reading the comments to get a good feel for it. Some buyers got no results, others got fantastic results. So, I'd probably try it after some more research. How much does it cost if you become a distributor? And do tell us your results, rootie3. Promise? I did the It works wraps. I used it on my arms, neck, stomach, and ankles. It did work it was wonderful for 2 days then it came back with a vengeance. I lost 2 inches around my arms and in 2 days I was 3 inches bigger.

You have to keep using them, like every 3 days. But I figured it would help in the long run with all the weight loss.

      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.
