sick of "mushies" Will I ever use Magic Bullet again?



Recommended Posts

I swear at this point I will never ever want to eat another blended Soup again. I have been using my Magic Bullet blender for everything and part of me wants to buy the accessories, the extra cups and rotors and lids, but another part of me hopes I never had to mush up perfectly decent food into pap again. (Gag)

What's everyone's experience out there? After fills, is it liquids, then mushies? Or can I put the bullet in the back of the cupboard and forget about it?

After fills, you will indeed need to go on at least one day of liquids then one day of mushies. However, as always, all doctors do things differently. I wouldnt put that magic bullet away.

I too am on mushies. Nothing I would like better than to be able to eat whole food again. But I have lost a lot of weight, and I would not trade that for the world.

Chin up.... only a little bit to go.

First off, I have to say I warm to your posts immediately because of your user name. The "A" in AMRDMR stands for Autumn, my grandmother, whom I adored. I still miss her, though she left this earth more than 14 years ago.

You are SOOOO lucky to be losing a lot of weight on mushies! If that were true in my case, I would not be complaining. I lost weight pre-surgery by a very determined effort on my part, but since surgery, Clear Liquids, full liquids.....nada a pound has gone away, in fact since mushies, one or 2 has come back. So unfair and so difficult to explain/understand. I am certainly not freebasing ice cream, it is the usual round of mushed up chicken Soup, mushed up lofat cottage cheese, mushed up Beans, etc. You'd think with 1/2 to 1 cup portion sizes, the weight would be melting off???!!! But the scale isn't moving and I am afraid to pick up a tape measure, my tummy still feels bloated from the surgery.

You are right, this too, shall pass. I wonder what everyone else had for their first solid food meal after healing? All I've come up with is fish and soft veggies, maybe?

Just try to remember being on liquids and dreaming of something mushy! I remember that first yogurt.....it was so good after broth! Definitely keep that Magic Bullet handy for after fills! You will get through this as we all did! The benefits of the sacrifice will amaze you!

Being a former Seattlite, living an hour north (where there are NO good restaurants), I'm curious, Jack. Was it McCormick and Schmicks? Anthony's? where did you have your first "real meal" out?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
