So I was at costco this weekend and watched an amazing presentation on the Blendtec blender/processor which directly competes with Vitamix but is about $100 less. It's amazing. It has smoothie, ice cream, and Soup settings. You can make homemade Soups, purees and other creations in seconds. Toss some roasted chicken and almond milk with roasted red peppers and herbs for an amazing Soup made in 90 seconds! Freeze for weekday meals! So easy! I'm serious, he made an "ice cream" which had: banana, spinach, plain coconut milk and ice - it was amazing and thick and totally healthy! No added sugar. You can also add beets, pineapple, all sorts of things for your Fiber but in a more digestible form. This is not juicing, it's whole foods at it's best. And the best part is that you can get 2-3 oz storage containers (like for baby food) and freeze/store for later! So getting this thing!!!

Don't forget many vegetables have protein! You can add some silk tofu into a veggie Soup for a Protein and Fiber rich soup if you don't want animal Protein in every meal. Cancer reducing veggies are great for skin too! Eat the rainbow!

Ok... I am 'research girl'.. best place to get blendtec is bed bath and beyond. Call the closest store, order it, use a 20% off coupon and ask for free shipping. Comes to just under 350 :)

      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.
