Looking to purchase a blender prior to surgery. What's the best? And do any puree? Looking at either the Ninja or Nutribullet Rx. Suggestions?

5 days post sleeve surgery---water diarrhea
hollisrn76 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OK all..can I please ask if loose watery stools post sleeve is normal? They tested my stool for C-Diff and it was negative. I'm on full liquid diet. Everything I put into me comes right out. Sorry for the tmi. But wonder if anyone has had this too? How long will it last? Thanks -

I'm newly sleeved too. Sleeved 2/3. I've been at a standstill too. For about a week now. Your body is holding onto as much as it can. We will start losing again! -
I'm 10 days post op and I feel sharp pain in upper left abdomen right at the incision that took my stomach out. Has anyone experienced this? Normal? I'm applying a heating pad. The pain comes and goes every 30 seconds. TIA

Comparison: Alexian Brothers / Kane Center and University of Illinois Chicago
hollisrn76 replied to almosthome's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Just had gastric sleeve with Dr Kame! 2/3/15. The Kane Center works like a well oiled machine. The care provided is outstanding. I had surgery Alexian Elk Grove. As a nurse myself I was amazed at the exceptional care the entire staff provided. I would recommend the program to anyone! -

Batiatric Advantage shakes make me sick :(
hollisrn76 replied to ImReadyforThis's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that can't stand the bariatric advantage shakes! I'm also with the Kane center. Going shopping today. I'm practically starving myself. I've only been able to tolerate 1-2 shakes a day because it just makes me so nauseous. -
I am so hungry. Today is day 5 of the liquid diet.
hollisrn76 replied to LisaLou30's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm struggling too! 7 more days for me. We can do it! -
Surgery date Feb 3rd! 7 more days of protein shakes and clear liquids. Ugh. Its rough but I'm doing it!
-
I'm with you. On day 6 and the thought of another protein shake makes me sick.
-
I am currently on bariatric advantage. I'm on day 6 of preop diet. I have to say...I can't stand the thought of another protein shake.

Calling all health care workers!

Are you all keeping your wls as a secret? I wanted to but saying im having surgery and come back to work weeks later and down 30 or so lbs isn't going to make alot of sense. We are nurses and pretty smart to figure out it wasn't just a normal surgery. Anyone else? -
