I have a ninja does good on ice and another smaller one hamiton beach 18.00 at walmart not great on ice but great on frozen fruit. I put 8 oz milk one scoop of protien and some frozen strawberrys make a great shake. no ice required

you can try Benefiber that what i used but be careful not to take to much no cramping but it works really good. and my nutritionist and doc gave my vitimins to me but they taste ok but a little chalkee. i have been eating gummie vites and gummie calcium.

well all i know is if i forget to take prilosec i burp alot but pain nooooo.... make your dr. look into this ... i have read enough that this may be a problem......................................... make this happen

yea but i actually gained wieght eating it because of the sodium ..... but while on liquids it really satisfied my cravings..... or hot and sour soup......

i'm so glad you survived your nightmare..... i had a vsg on feb 27th and glad i did..... i hope you keep the faith and listen to your nutristionst .. it will get better ... just take it one day at a time.....i have had some bad days but you can take it you are tuff in so many ways... good luck... always know that we on line are always here to listen and encouragage you... we are all in it together.....

I.m with aetna and they paid all of the hospital. I only paid 635 for the classes and vitamins. So just wait till you actually have the insurance then call and ask them.

I know this is great isn't it! I'm 12 weeks out 53 lbs and loving going to the store to buy clothes something I have always hated. You're going to see big changes and it is great... your confidence will soar... I know my has.

I guess i was really lucky my husband would eat before he came home at night so I would not have to smell food cooking. But on the other side we have friends that the husband was (retired) Dr. He really frowned on the surgery and actually said (he and his wife are skinny) said that we eat salads and soup and I have lost 20 lbs...... Man what an inconciderate DR...... If eating salad would have worked I would not have had the surgery. Some people just don't get it....so maybe just avoid them for awhile. I did.

I just went shopping today and I'm down another size, trying to by from the clearance rack to save money. But i love being able to shop and not get so stressed about it.

I looked at myself in a full length mirror yesterday for the first time since i can't remember and you know what I have really lost my tummy, my butt, my fat legs, what a change. My husband has really been a great support for me. I have lost 53 lbs and I hope to be at goal by Christmas 50 more to go.

Hello, I'm 2.5months out and glad I did it lost 50 lbs. Dr says I'm right on track may reach my goal by the end of the year. Keep checking in It helps to chat with others for support.

I know this is new to you so let me explain. The bread will swell in your tummy and it will be very painful and if you are only eating liquids that means you had surgery fairly recently. you wouldn't want to damage your incision inside your stomach. be patient there is plenty of time... try some cream of turkey soup it will satisfy the cravings.... I am 2.5 months out and am still finding things that I cant eat. My doc and nutriionest tell me it will get easier down the road.

Just a quick note. Lost 48 lbs and loving it. I've gone shopping and love buying things that aren't followed by W's. I've had some burping issues so not only taking Pecid ac but Tums, has helped a lot. So glad I had the surgery it is making my life so much better. Will start working out tomorrow at the gym. Yes I've have been procrastinating with this but it's time to get serious. I would love to be at goal by Christmas or at least close. 55 more lbs to go. Could be possible if I really work out like I should. Wishing to all success!

Health diet !!!! Just chew chew chew....... your food yes there are somethings that don't go down well and bread is one of them try just the meat and chew chew chew small bites... Think before you eat. Take your time.

Good Luck! Just remember that this is the first day of your new life. It's not always easy but it's worth it.

Just wanted to post something positive. I'm feeling good lost 40 lbs. Started a membership at the gym can't wait to get focused on losing more weight. I've go to focus on my core. As I was shopping last week I found out that I don't have to wear women's sizes any more, no more w's for me. I can't believe it. I can finally see a difference and it feels great. Lots more hard work ahead but it is going to be worth it I'm on my way.

Good Job. Keep walking maybe you could get some kind of dust mask to help keep the pollen out.

WOW congratulations!!!! I've just ungraduated from womens sizes no more w's for me. Only 8 weeks out hope to be at goal by Christmas.

I started the gym today..... still may buy one thought it is pretty.

You will probably be fine just don't get over heated as the anesthesia will still be in your system. I'd love to go too. Just remember liquid diet not easy to stick to when you are that new to vgs. It's hard to resist and if you do eat you will pay dearly for it.

It's been 8 weeks and I feel good. Lost another 2 lbs after nothing for a week. But it is coming off and I finally think that I have done the best thing I could have done for myself. I did take the time to re-read my handbook trying to stay on track. Just because I can eat what I want doesn't mean I should. Sometimes it's good to take a step back and reevaluate how, what and when I eat. Thanks to everyone for the support it really does help.

I have atnea and they covered almost all my expensise so far...... except for copays....I know they will no cover plastic surgery but i am 8 weeks out and very pleased with the results... good luck

You are probably experiencing some swelling eventually the bubble will come out. I burp alot but its not painfull. It's been 7 weeks since my surgery. Lost 27 lbs so far. stay strong be patient with the process.

I wish the the best with your surgery. I am 7 weeks out and am very happy the results to far. Follow the instructions your Dr gives you and you will be fine. I have not told my Mother I had surgery and maybe never will. But my husband has been my rock thru all this. He is like a mother hen and I love him more for it. I've lost 27 lbs since surgery. My co workers are amazed and it has lit a fire under there butts to lose weight. My friends say I look younger, and at 51 that means alot. keep us posted on your progress.

Take a break, Stop worrying so much... things will work out we have all done this to change our lives and it won't happen over nite. My doc call week 3 and 4 lost weeks your body is trying to figure out whats going on with the food it gets and what to do with it. I'm 7 weeks out and have found pork is to dense to eat. Ground beef is ok fish is better. If you like tuna, make tuna salad. Good Luck!
