Hi I had my band removed and was sleeved on December 20th, I wanted to see how people with a week are doing. I am still having alot of incisional pain especially at night. My surgeon says I should not being needing any pain meds at this time but I still do.
I ate for the first time a greek yougurt and it went down real well. But an hour later I was soo bloated and had alot of gas. Has anyone had this problem.
Also I wanted to ask people what protein drinks they are using? I think I am going to GNC today to get something.Any feed back is appreciated
Thanks Pointbeach
I started my journey in mid-March this year. I went through the 3-month process required by my insurance carrier, then submitted for approval. I got denied in the end of July. I appealed. Got denied again in the end of August. I thought all was lost because I wasn't wiling to go the legal route for financial reasons. Then, my husband switched jobs. I was able to re-apply through my new insurance and was approved in October! I had surgery, FINALLY, on December 3rd! It was a long, grueling, emotionally-draining year for me, as I waited and wondered and gained even more weight :(
But that's all behind me now!
I went from 270 at the start of Optifast to 257 on my surgery date to 236.8lbs today! I'm beyond thrilled and can't wait to hit my goal of 150! I know it will happen :)
The idea of a December (or winter months) FB group for support is awesome! Let me know if anyone decides to set it up.
Good luck to all of you -- don't despair if your journey takes a little longer than originally expected. Stay the course and you will get there!
I'm ready to be wheeled into surgery in new jersey hoping all goes well say prayer
Scheduled 12/26, freaking out a little bit about it.... never had surgery before... and feeling quite anxious... with all the what ifs? Hope you got everything on your agenda done.
great first week...I'm 10 Days Post Op, and today SUCKED. nauseated all day, and no energy at all. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I visit my surgeon's office tomorrow, and meet with my NUT...hoping she moves me to mushies...I need some FLAVOR (savory)!
