Hi from South Jersey,

I just received my Nutribullet today and wanted to give it a whirl. I make my 1st green smoothie. OMG I was amazed how good it was and it was only 2 ingredients: Spinach and Strawberries (must of been thinking Christmas :D ) I added Water and 2 splenda to it and let it rip. I will admit it's not the prettiest drink I have ever had, but one of the tastiest by far, even my hubby enjoyed the taste. If anyone is willing to share their smoothie receipes I would love to give them a whirl. I am pre-op and my surgery is tentative for Feb 2014. I am looking foward to my new lifestyle (journey). I have been reading and researching as much as possible be for the big (or should that be small) day. Any advise would be greatly appreciated, would like to hear your comments.

Rosemary

Baby kale, spinach, strawberries and blueberries, sometimes I add a chunk of cucumber if I have it - yum! But it has to be baby kale for me, for some reason it tastes like spring. Regular "grown up" kale is too bitter for me.

I have to use kale in mine because I'm allergic to spinach. I also by the bags of frozen mixed fruit and it comes out ice cold. The big thing post op will be Protein. So I add Protein Powder to mine to make it complete nutritionally.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
