Does anyone have a Vitamix and is using it often post op. I am on the fence as it is a bit costly. Thanks

Yes, I totally do - I am not sure what it is if the food/drink is too heavy but it's worse then eating a huge turkey meal. Sorry can help regarding the why but I am also interested to know if someone knows why.

Hi Kiwi63 Congrats on your decision in almost 3 months out and don't regret it for a moment!! I'm sure your doctor with treat you if need be - I haven't been to my family doc about te surgery and have had absolutely no issues. I went through AHS and had my surgery in Red Deer great team there for sure!! Keep me posted on your progress and if you need anything. Maybe we can meet one of these days - because I haven't been able to find any support group or anything here

I felt awesome - like normal pretty much ! Have fun!!!

How soon after surgery can you eat popcorn? I'm just over 7 weeks post op and i can pretty much eat everything ( well haven't ha issues with anything so far) Thanks

You look great! I love the dress!

I felt great - I day go and enjoy your self !

Hello, I'm starting my full fluids and just wondering what some people did during this period? I'm on a full Fluid diet for 2 weeks ..... Thanks

My surgeon made me go on a liquid diet for 30 days before surgery as my liver needed to shrink. However, I am thankful that I was on the liquid diet becuz post op eating/ drinking is different and this prepared me mentally and physically for the changes.

Hi I'm from Calgary and just got sleeved on Monday in red deer through AHS - all has been well! Love to hear from people in Calgary and see if there are any support groups ?

Had my surgery on Monday - came home today. Feeling the gas pains and slight uncomfortableness when I drink any fluid which the doc said is normal. Other then the has pains I'm feeling good - had a shower today that felt great too!

I can't believe the day has come - I am super nervous about it - but looking forward to the outcome. I wish everybody a safe surgery with speedy recovery!

I think I'm going to buy it - it sounds great and I think post op / healthy choices going forward it will be utilized enough to compensate the cost. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and info!

Thanks for the info. I am looking to change my lifestyle and try to get in as many nutrients as possible thanks for your inputs.

I'm on the 18th too! I'm having mine done up in Canada - feeling like some of you - excited but scared

March 18th in Alberta, Canada !!! So excited ! And nervous and I have been on a liquid diet for almost 2 weeks now only 2 weeks to go - I'm keeping my eye on the prize!

Hi damdoum, Are you smoking any shisha?

Ooh wow - haven't experienced anything like that but I'm still early in the game I still have 3 weeks of the liquid diet!!! I am happy to know that I'm not going crazy about my tongue - what stage are you at?

Hello, I have been on my pre-op diet for the last 5 days and its going really well, the only thing is my tongue feels funny. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

I start Monday - a 30 day liquid diet right now I'm optimistic as I put myself here for the years of eating to much - it's one step closer to my ultimate goal!

1) learn how to surf 2) go shopping and not feel limited to certain stores or just buying accessories 3) sit in a plane or stadium seat comfortably 4) cross my legs - I miss that 5) run and not be self conscience about jiggling

I get mine done March 18 in Alberta!!! I'm so excited!

Hi NatHalie, Which doctor did you have in red deer? I have my surgery set for march 18 .... Did you like the clinic ? Any tips etc ..... Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated - I am feeling nervous and excited!
