February Sleevers

[Ulrika 0]

Thanks Tstorm...this has been the worst part....not even the food thing has been as bad as the no breathing thing! Hoping next week is better..

I was told to walk and half sit when sleeping for the rubbish in the lungs to remove itself... Feel a lot better today - still short breath but better!!!

It will be over and done with before you know it! it was my second surgery, but I still got really scared. I finally started to calm down when they put my IV in, and the bartender gave me my cocktail! Lol. Just know that there will be pain and discomfort afterward due to the gas that they pump you up with, but it does get better each day. Just do the breathing the want you to do, and walk as much as possible. That will help get the gas out! You will be just fine! These folks do it over and over again everyday so you can rest assured they know what their doing.

Thanks. I love hearing positive words.

Ulrika, when I had my daughter via c-section, I had a bit of a panic attack myself when the anesthesia worked its way up my body and I wasn't able to take in a full breath. Not fun!

I was sleeved yesterday and am home today. Dr. Feiz performed the surgey at Marina Del Rey hospital. Need;ess to say,

I am sore as hell, but walking helps rid the body of the air they use during the procedure.. Ironically, I weighed a pound more when I was dscharged than upon my arrival. The nurse conveyed that is perfectly normal, due to the amountof liquids they pump into you. See all of you in the post-op forums! Best of luck to all.

I've had the bullet for 6 or 7 years. I love it. I've made all shorts of Protein Shakes and smoothies will ice in them. I grind coffee with it. I've made hummus and the filling for pot stickers with it. I love that you can make the shakes in the cup you will drink it from. So if you can't tell I'm a huge fan of the bullet.

I got the ninja for xmas and let me tell you nothing compares! Its got like ginsu knives and get crush anything! I use mine to even puree my foods, make shakes. My kids use it to make crushed icees! I like it due to the knives. Its got 4-6 blades (depending on the size...I have 3 diff sized ones). A lot of the other blenders have 4 small ones in the base and they dont really do much. That's just my opinon (:

P.s. my friend just picked up a smaller ninja/blender looking one at Walmart gor $24.00
