They like to see no polish so they can see the color of the nail beds

That makes sense. I'll take it off. Thank you

They just told me no red nail polish. They prefer French manicure if we have anything but they have nothing in the pre op paperwork about no polish.

Welp I'm wearing red polish so off it goes lol.

thank you!! I think I'm gonna have to run to target and pick that up tomorrow!

I have had my Ninja for two years and love it. What I am finding though is for now I need to puree little jobs which the Ninja is not doing so well. I am purchasing the bullet to get me through the pureed stage and it is small enough to take to work with me.

Wal mart has something like the bullet for $20 and it works good. Best $20 I've ever spent. Congrats to all being sleeved today.

The ninja I have came with 3 different sizes so it works well.

And what I did when I ate something.... like sweet potato Soup I just pureed 2 or so cups at a time and then put the soup in ice cube trays and then I put them in snack size bags in freezer marked. So then when I return to work I just pop a few out of the freezer and of I go with my little baggies of food.< /p>

I was sleeved on 2/19 and incision pain is not an issue for me. However, gas pains are still pretty severe. I am told that it takes a week or two to subside completely.

Yes just try and clear your mind and keep calm. And before you know it you will be on the other side of it. It will be rough going for a short time and then it gets better every day! I'm 11 days out and I'm feeling freaking great!

Best of luck and a speedy recovery

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
