I had the same issue with when he had his tonsils out. I tried frozen

pedialite, ice chips, dairy queen soft serve, etc. The main issue was to keep

him hydrated. Unfortunately he ended up constipated. Then started complaining

his mouth hurt and the dentist had to pull 3 teeth because when they put the

breathing tube in they nicked his bottom front baby teeth. Once he had the teeth

out he healed fast.

Yes!  Look in her mouth and makesure she doesn't have thrush!  Micah got this

on top of his adenoids and tonsils being out from ther antibiotics.  Once that

was taken care of he started eating and drinking again.  Also use tylenol

suppositories to ease pain,..we couldn't get tylenol in the regular way lol!. 

Hope this helps.

tylenol suppositories to deaden the pain. Once you lessen the pain, you can use

a little liquid tylenol with codeine to do a better job eliminating the pain.

your next step would be read how they chemically bond differentlyI would say

test it your self and see what you feel.

It does chop veggies nice, just maybe not for certain things where you want to retain some chunkiness. I had a 3600 model, then a 4000, and now have the 5200, and I can say the difference is quite striking. I resisted upgrading for years, since the 5200 doesn't have the reverse feature, and I was convinced that I HAD to have that. The 5200 is so efficient that you DON'T need a reverse. The variable speeds take care of pretty much everything!From: Cat Lady <busresponsible@...>Subject: Question Date: Sunday, January 9, 2011, 9:45 PM

I DO use it to chop veggies all of the time. It is only when the chopped veggies must LOOK pretty, that it isn't the best tool in the kitchen. Whenever I make Chili I chop onion, green pepper, celery, and carrots. My Chili is chock full of veggies and it never matters what they look like. The slow speed does a GREAT job with carrots - I love to make carrot salad with the VM. I make the bulk of my salsa's with the Vitamix then if I want it chunkier use my chopper on a few slices of tomatoes to add in.I use the slow speed to chop veggies to put on top of salads - it doesn't look pretty, but I can add so much more veggies when it is as easy as chopping them in the Vitamix - I would just skip the veggies all together if I had to chop them by hand or with my chopper (the VM is much easier to clean than the chopper and I only get it out as a last resort).I use the slow speed to scramble eggs and to chop veggies at the same time that I am scrambling eggs to make a veggie omelette or quiche (again, it doesn't matter what the veggies look like in that omelette or quiche). I use the slow speeds to add texture back into a soup where I heated the broth on high, but lowered the speed to add things like cooked chicken (the chicken gets shredded beautifully for the soup). I do the same thing with my cold green soups in the summer - I make a cold veggie soup base, then add in some coarsely cut up cucumber or celery or pepper or mushroom, etc. to get some crunchy texture in that soup.I also use the slow speeds to make batters like cake, pancake, muffins, and brownie mix.I use the slow speeds to pop air bubbles out of drinks or soups that get too "frothy".When I use protein powder, I use the slow speeds to stir it in after the rest of the smoothie has been made.

Did you know that Lea Ann sells the reconditioned VitaMix? Check with her before you commit. They all come from the same factory I think. VitaMix also has a payment plan.

Hello - can you tell me more about the 5200 professional (we don't have one) or send me the link to what you are looking at? Are you talking about the CIA models? If yes, be sure to check the warranty - the commercial machines come with a 1 year warranty while the residential models come with 7-years.

Isn't the CIA actually a home-use machine? It has the exact same specs as the 5200 (unlike the Vita-Prep) but it comes with a different cookbook.

I think ALL of the "professional" models are home-use machines--the whole "pro" thing is, I think, to appeal to foodies who think that they have to have commercial equipment.

AFAIK, the CIA is a 5200 base with, as you stated, different support materials.

It comes with the " normal " stuff, but also has the " Creations " cookbook, plus a

couple DVDs featuring Symon.

I was able to find the Creations cookbook PDF on QVC, though I don't know that

they intended to make it available for download like that.. :-) No luck on the

Symon videos to date, though nobody has been able to tell me whether or

not they're really worthwhile.

If vitamix 5200 doesn't chop veggies nice then what is the difference between that version and 4500 version to make it worth the price?

[Guest guest]

I was thinking of the Vita-Prep. You are right , looks to me like the CIA is the 5200 with a different cookbook and it looks like it does come with a 7-year warranty.Oh well, if you should decide to get a 5200 - you know who to call (or email :-)

Isn't the CIA actually a home-use machine? It has the exact same specs as the 5200 (unlike the Vita-Prep) but it comes with a different cookbook.

I think ALL of the "professional" models are home-use machines--the whole "pro" thing is, I think, to appeal to foodies who think that they have to have commercial equipment.

Re: Question

I DO use it to chop veggies all of the time. It is only when the chopped veggies must LOOK pretty, that it isn't the best tool in the kitchen. Whenever I make Chili I chop onion, green pepper, celery, and carrots. My Chili is chock full of veggies and it never matters what they look like. The slow speed does a GREAT job with carrots - I love to make carrot salad with the VM. I make the bulk of my salsa's with the Vitamix then if I want it chunkier use my chopper on a few slices of tomatoes to add in.

I use the slow speed to chop veggies to put on top of salads - it doesn't look pretty, but I can add so much more veggies when it is as easy as chopping them in the Vitamix - I would just skip the veggies all together if I had to chop them by hand or with my chopper (the VM is much easier to clean than the chopper and I only get it out as a last resort).

I use the slow speed to scramble eggs and to chop veggies at the same time that I am scrambling eggs to make a veggie omelette or quiche (again, it doesn't matter what the veggies look like in that omelette or quiche).

I use the slow speeds to add texture back into a soup where I heated the broth on high, but lowered the speed to add things like cooked chicken (the chicken gets shredded beautifully for the soup). I do the same thing with my cold green soups in the summer - I make a cold veggie soup base, then add in some coarsely cut up cucumber or celery or pepper or mushroom, etc. to get some crunchy texture in that soup.

I also use the slow speeds to make batters like cake, pancake, muffins, and brownie mix.

I use the slow speeds to pop air bubbles out of drinks or soups that get too "frothy".

When I use protein powder, I use the slow speeds to stir it in after the rest of the smoothie has been made.
