I'm so glad you're doing better! And don't worry about rambling; a casual side remark you make might elicit a great tip from someone, or help someone. Plus, it feels good to share your experiences with other people who know what WLS is like.
I hope they can sort out your ankle pain quickly for you. In the meantime, you might try alternating between applying ice to your ankle and applying heat.
As an alternative to the protein shakes, you can try adding protein powder to hot drinks and soup. Sometimes a full serving of protein powder changes the taste too much, so try a half serving.
yea thats what i figured and i already reported it right away ^_^
The PA today advised me to track my calories, protein, carbs, and water for the next week to gauge how I'm doing. She suggested that I keep my calories around 1200, my protein 70-100 g, carbs under 70 g., and my water 100 oz. So I'll see how close my typical day falls into those ranges and adjust as needed.
I also want to start getting more exercise than just walking. I have some recommended videos that I plan to start using starting in December. I teach college, so I'll have about a month off from work, and I hope to get that exercise habit established during that time.
I still have a scoop of unflavored protein powder every morning with my morning tea or hot cocoa, and that works to keep me satisfied until early afternoon when I begin to feel hungry. My husband and I eat out or order in almost every night, and I usually eat 1/4-1/3 of whatever I order and try to eat the leftovers for lunches (or share them with the dogs!).
I'm very pleased with my decision to have the surgery. I feel like it has given me my life back!
So glad to hear. I also have no thyroid and I'm losing hope.
Hey there. Did you ever find out if it was covered ? How are you feeling?
Hey Laura, I'm in Texas too! Looking for a good surgeon. What do you give your surgeon out of 5 stars?
Running into the same problem. My insurance won't cover it at all. It really sucks! Wish there was an easier way.
