Butterthebean: Thanks for the article on weightloss stalling.

Hello, I am 9 days post op. First I want to tell you. You will be fine. The first 3 days post op for me was the worst the days ever. Until I pushed myself to have a consistence regimen. Starting day 4 I woke up took my anti acids med. then drink hot tea to get ride of the gas, I then drink the Protein shake because in our nutrition class, we were taught that protein is important for ( healing , hair loss prevention ect.) I must say since day for I have been stronger. I hope my story help.

I am 9 days post op and I have the vitimix. I purchased it from costco for 374.00 . If I would have purchased it from vitimix website it would have cost 650.00 . I use it to make fresh juice for my post op liquid diet!

Hello all, This is a message from (how I feel right now ) food hater. I had my surgery on 11/20/2013. Today is day 4 and I must say every day is getting better. I am able to tolerate more liquids. No nausea, spitting or vomit. I do have one concern. My throat feels really tight. I have to take really deep breaths in order to breath. Does that seem normal? One other concern I have is, I haven't received a call from my surgeon or anyone on his team to see how I am doing/? do I have any complaints? can they help me with something? I called on Friday to ask a question gas. No call back. What do you guys/or gals think?

Hello it's just me. Today 1 week 1 day post op. I must say I'm feeling pretty good. I make sure I follow the same regimen every day. It has helped. Regimen: Calcium pill in the am with prevelcid Hot tea Two hrs later Multivitamin with Protein shake Creamy Soup for lunch. I am up to 33oz which has increased my energy. How are you?

Hi, Adamfishaa, I was told the same thing. I remember the nutritionist saying protein intake will help you from losing your hair. liquid in general will help you from getting dehydrated. By the way, I too sleeved on November 20th 2013.

I sleeved on 11/20/2013. All I can put down is sugar free popcicles. Can anyone tell me if, this sudden tightness in my chest every other hour is from gas or complications?
