I went to her for a consult. My friend had used her about 1 yr ago. She was very professional. I like her and I considered using her. I used dr Larry Gellman from Great Neck. I am very pleased with my decision. I was sleeved 3/26 and my recovery has been very smooth. I went back to work after 1 week Feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck !

Simply BEAUTIFUL!! You should be so proud of your accomplishment. -
I use skim milk. I vary between shaker bottle and using a ninja blender the powder blends very easy and smoothly either way

I have been using UNJURY. You can only get it online. They ship fast,it usually arrives in two days. My favorite is the chocolate Splendor. I also like the chicken broth. If you get in touch with them they will send you a sample.

Your right marathon1218 I recently joined the LOSERS and I couldn't be happier! To the 4/15 gang Don't panic. Just take it one day at a time. It is worth it. I was sleeved 3/26. So far my recovery has been smooth. I'm starting week 4 of Protein drinks. Definitely getting bored of them. I am looking to start soft purée foods next week. WHOOHOO!

FLAMINGO posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Today is my 6th day post op! Im happy with my recovery. No pain! Sometimes I tire easy but no biggie. I'm drinking my 3 shakes but have to add more Water. Yesterday I did about 40oz I've been. Able to take larger sips no nausea or vomiting (yeahh) I'm trying not to fixate on weight loss I'm 5 pounds down post op and 20 # down from pre op diet -
It takes a while to drink but I won't go to sleep until I have 3 shakes down!!!! I'm using the unjury products. You?? I found it easier to drink it using a Blender Bottle instead of my ninja. I like the ninja but they are too foamy for me at this time!!

Fellow 3/26er All good here. So far it's been smooth for me. I'm able to take my Vitamins. I never needed any pain meds so I feel lucky! I've been able to get 3 shakes in daily. I need to increase my Water I take. I'm working on it each day. I'm planning on going back to work on Tuesday for the day and then taking 4 days off before returning full time. I figure I should easy my way back. Still burping often BUT no pain so no complaints! How has your recovery been??

Ranjith I appauld your honesty and determination. You are young and wise to take control of your life. You are have a full life ahead.

I'm able to drink my Protein shakes. Make sure you follow your surgeons directions. It will produce success & you will love the new you Keep me informed if your progress.
