  1. I started using the Whey protein from Walmart. I bought a one cup blender tonight and added some Whey, Skim Milk and Splenda along with some ice and it was great. I drank a good glass full, It took me about 30 minutes to drink it but really no problem. Just feeling full. I started taking my whole one a day vitamin complex and no problem going down. Doc said I could start taking the whole pill now. I was breaking them in half. I still have some pain on my left side just above my belly button and over to the left. The doc said it was normal because he put a big stitch there and it should go away befor long. It doesn't start to bother me until the end of my day.
  2. Low Grade Fever...how are you doing now? I had a fever of 102 after a getting home and it was a virus. I didn't take any antibiotics because it was a virus and lasted about 3 days. Hope all is well now!

    The following is what I pasted from another topic but I wanted to add after going to the ER because of the Virus I was wishing I never had this done and what was I thinking...Now that the virus has moved on I feel good about it and it is getting better everytime I put a smaller shirt and pants on. LOL I had my sleeve on Feb 27th and I haven't had any problems with water or juices. I can drink all I want. Fat Free milk goes down without any problem. I take a few gulps at a time and wait a few minutes and no problem with finishing a 8 ounce glass. Everything I eat I chew well over and over. I haven't started my protein yet and got sick from my vitamins. That’s a lot of vitamins...the Flintstone with iron give me indigestion sometimes. I plan to try the protein this week. I feel pretty well considering. I did get a pain in my lower left side just across and up a little from my belly button after walking too much. After reading the forum I find out this is pretty normal so I would take it easy on the walking. The pain is getting better every day. I don't know if my going on has helped but as time goes by I will update this forum. Have a wonderful day. Oh by the way be careful after the first week because your immune system is very low and you can catch a virus very easy..I did and had to go to the ER because of fever and diarrhea which caused dehydration. They did a CT on my belly and all was well...it was a crazy virus going around that a lot of people were getting and lasted about three days.
