Removing tape glue and other tips

Hi: This is a great topic. Although the problem can be "difficult", the laugh lines are super. I get a good laugh everytime I check into this topic. Doddie

Just letting you know that I picked up the Benefibre. <grin> Thanks all who suggested it.

Also, I broke down and finally bought the Magic Bullet blender which I am loving! It makes fantastic Protein and Fruit drinks. This thing is great. I have a full-sized blender but it's a pain to use and clean. I started to use the Magic Bullet in the mornings with AllMax Unflavoured Protein (bought it at Nutrition House in TD Center) with some Nesquick chocolate flavouring and some fruit, and it takes great. I picked up some bananas tonight and can't wait to try that out tomorrow with some chocolate Syrup and the skim milk.

That's another great tip and wish I had bought the Bullet earlier for the pureed stage. Oh, well, live and learn.

Hi Bejeweled. I'm glad you like your bullet. I have a regular hand one by Braun and I love it too. Great if you're in a hurry in the am. Liquid Protein. Don't worry about not seeing too much in the way of weight loss. It will happen as soon as you start getting your fills.

Thanks, Donna. I'm trying to keep that in mind. I get the first fill on Monday so we'll see how everything goes after that.

DONNA D:

Now that you have had some fills, how much are you able to eat at a meal???

I am trying to watch my portions right now.. I am using the 'cup' from the tea & Saucer set in my everyday dishes... holds about 1/2 cup to 5 oz. (liq measure)..

So I am pureeing my food, had 2 meatballs, 1/2 scalloped potoates, 1/2 broccoli...

Does that sound about right?? for amounts right now?

Nail polish remover failed for me as well. Then my sis (an actor) introduced me to a product that removes glues used for stage make-up. It worked wonders on removing the tape marks without irritating the skin. I think it's available in most large Shoppers (ask for "eye lash remover").

      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.
