  6. banannas are great.........even edys no fat sugar free icecream added to the protein shakes are great..........it makes it taste so much better and changes it up........!!
  7. i specifically heard dont put vitamin E on it..........neosporin but no vitamin E...just met with my doctor!
  8. PREVACID IS THE KING.......................ALTHOUGH NOW AFTER SURGERY I WAS TOLD i wasnt going to have to take it anymore because they were going to fix it for me....but im still burping up a storm..........not sure if its my reflux and they didnt fix it or its still the gas from the surgery?
  9. i just weighed my self yesterday.....and i was actually up 5lbs from my actual day of surgery...........very strange and annoying seeing that no food has entered my body except some opti fast shakes, propel water and soups.........maybe its the bloat, and gas and who know what else.....anyone else have same experience...........not happy to see that though.........lost a bunch pre-opp but to go up 5 pounds since surgery and itw now been 6 days post surgery...seems strange!!!

    if you just had your surgery on the 27th then you should still be on liquids for another 7 days....no food.....i just had surgery on the 29th and im on liquids for the next 12 days.....eating food right now sounds like a disaster and your only asking for troulbe.....from what i hear from everyone ...dont do it....follow the rules.....liquids....then mushy food....then normal food..........
  14. i just had surgery 3 days ago....what is the slime thing?
