I got a vita-mix last weekend. I am almost 3 weeks post-op and I am on pureed foods for another 5 days. I have been pureeing whole fruits and vegetables in the vitamix. Is this ok for this stage of my diet? The seeds and skins are pretty well pulverized. Does anyone else have one? How do you use it?

You have to put it in the html signature box. But I had to delete some of the weird characters in front of the http:// and at the end. Then it worked. Good luck.

I know this is an old post, but I just have to say that I also have a Vita-Mix, and it's just an awesome machine! I dump raw veggies into it, and it beats them up so hard that the pureed Soup that comes out of the blender is hot! So cool!

Now I'm 3 months post-op and I love the vita-mix. It has been a lifesaver. I am especially tight in the mornings so I usually blend up some fruit and tofu or Protein Powder and drink it which gives me a good start to my day and I don't have to worry about if I can eat it. I've also made Soups and sauces. I recommend it to anyone, especially bandsters. Thanks for your replies.

      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.
