The Magic Bullet is Awesome

[notsochubbybritneyspears 4]

I used the magic bullet with my Optifast this morning - so much more tolerable.

However I cheated last night and got a chicken sandwich from buffalo wild wings, I was literally starving.

They should do introduce you to optifast a better I think and not just cold turkey no food. Today I have sugar free Jello with me, so it should help I hope.

Hahaha sex toy.

I've been thinking about getting the Magic bullet (blender). Do you like it much better than a normal blender?

Also, I can understand how you feel about the liquid diet. Luckily my 2 week pre op diet is only two meals of Protein drinks or bars. Then I get to eat one meal a day. (low fat, low carb meal).

but I'm not to worried about it. I think the one thing that has helped me is being on Weight watchers since March. I've totally changed the way I eat. Making better food choices and finding other things low cal./low fat that satisfy my hunger. If I'm really wanting something to eat or something sweet, I turn to greek yogurt with honey. My fav.

I don't feel so deprived from eating what use to be 'normal" food for me, like pizza, hamburgers, chinese and so on. Sure i might have that once or twice a month, but I may go 2 weeks not eating any fast food or junk. But when I do eat it, its only one meal and much smaller than I use to eat.

I think learning how to eat again is the hardest part. It's a mind game. One game I don't want to lose.

Good luck with your pre op diet. Hope it gets easier for you.

I have a blender as well. I like this because its fast and easy cleanup. It also comes with the 4 cups with lids -- so I pour the Optifast in with ice and a couple of seconds on the magic bullet and its good to go.

I am friggin hungry though. It isn't that filling all day long even with Jello

Oh, Britney, I know how hard this phase is. I remember!!!! I was just sleeved on 6/6. I was soooo hungry pre-op! LOL But it is soooo worth it. You can do it!!! It will be over before you know it. I'm rooting for you!!!

Do you have to drink the Optifast? Can you try something different that might be more filling?

I plan on drinking Special K Protein drinks and bars.

Not sure what I will use after surgery, becasue I know I will need more Protein then.
