Compression stockings
northstar9148 replied to northstar9148's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Exactley. Make sure they put them back on you after you get back from using the restroom. You can get blood clots of you don't wear them and make sure you breath into that device they give you, a spirometer? It helps get the anithesia out of your lungs,And maked sure you cough after each use Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -

What vitamins do you use?
northstar9148 replied to KDBgo4happy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I think your supposed to take some vitamins apart from each other. I know calcium needs to be taken separately and iron as well? Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -
Day 5 and I am suffering!

One thing that helped me get liquids, was to get a jar of beef bullion cubes at walmart. Just boil water and pour over the bullion cubes. It felt good to drink something warm in the morning and I quit drinking coffee, so I just pretend it's coffee. About the heartburn, make sure you quit drinking or eating anything before bed, maybe 2 hours? Also my doc told me to take tums, it helps with heart burn and you can get your calcium that way. My heart burn is worse at night, so I keep at bottle of Tums by my bedside. Sugarfree popcycles have about 2 ounces of liquid too. Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app -
Iam with you though. It's hard to come up with tasty ideas. I wish they had a cookbook for pureed foods Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app

I made mashed potatoes and mixed turkey gravy in a jar andPureed it with a ninja you can get at walmart for like $17.00. It was good. I think I'll get some turkey to have with it I was mixing all my ingredients together, yuk. I decided to puree things separately It taste much better, lol. I mean, that's the first time I've ever had a fish milkshake, yuk... Someone said to mix tuna and mayonnaise together, not a good idea but the dogs loved it Applesauce is good with no sugar too. I also like to get Progresso chicken and rice soup pureed. Sent from my SM-J700T using BariatricPal mobile app
