I LOVE VST! It has amazing amounts of information for sleevers-to-be! I'm July 25th! Congrats to you!!

HOLY SH*T BATMAN! Look at all the duplicate posts LOL

Your most welcome! You will love it if you choose to get it! And yes I read the reviews on those too and was shocked b/c they advertise on tv and I always thought I'd like to have one....until i read the reviews! Good luck with your sleeve!

I bet it does! It has the same blades as the bigger one on mine...the only reason I bought this over that one was b/c I liked that I could blend with the cups and just go with no clean up b/c I hate extra clean up LOL And I also thought about the stuff i would be blending and thought if i were to make a big batch of Soup or something I could use that to blend. AND Most of all I really like to shop and spend money and that is probably why i got the more expensive one HAHA(thats awful! i know lol)

I'm not post op yet lol...But none of my post op food paperwork says anything about it. I'll ask about it tomorrow and let you know for sure!

OK so I had an OSTER Personal Blender that came with the cup and made it portable to take with you on the go. Well It worked ok but I noticed it made everything EXTREMELY FOAMY and their was usually a few bigger ice chips in the bottom and i just didn't like that! lol SO I looked online and Walmart(I HATE this place but i digress) had the NINJA BL201 for $79.00(A little pricey BUT well worth it!) which included 2 travel cups with lids & A large regular blender container. I have heard nothing but good about the NINJA products so I thougt, I am going to be blending for the rest of my life, I may as well spend another $50 and be able to use it for my food as well, plus i got an extra cup AND it has a 550Watt motor vs the 250 in the OSTER. Well when I got home I tried it and WOW, That thing made a slushy out of ice. It literally cut that ice up and made it look kinda look like snow. It melted as soon as you touched it, that is how small the ice crystals were. Something different about this is that it comes with 4 different blades! 2 are dough blades, it makes pizza & cookie dough! Just what I need LOL!!! 1 goes in the large blender and has 4 blades to cut with, they are extremely sharp and the placement is not like any other. The other is the cup size blade that fits at the top of the cup so you can blend right in the cup, well I immediately noticed just by looking at these that they are Sharp vs the OSTER which had the same looking blades but i could rub my thumb across them and feel nothing but hard metal dull blades. These are actually sharp! You can see the sharpness and I think between actually having sharp blades and 550 Watts makes a HUGE difference! I know I will be very happy with this & others will be too if you buy it. Anyway I just wanted to tell everyone about it since I was happy with my purchase! Johnathan PS- Here is the link to it at walmarts website http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ninja-Kitchen-System-Pulse/16913481 and I also attached a picture of it! I also just found this & wish i had bought this one but i didn't see it until now but this is an upgraded version(I guess) it has 700Watts and I thin another cup(3 cups), and is in white...other than that I see nothing different but it is $79.99 http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=401036&catid=290266&aid=337953&aparam=ninja_kitchen_system_pul&CAWELAID=1283752915

LOL thats ok! I wubz u too! HAHA

I'm just not a fan of anything Mint or Cookie usually...Only cookie anything I like is Oreo Blizzard and choc. chip Cookies I dip in milk lol

LMAO about the pants wearing out bc of friction! That is the funniest thing i've ever heard!!! My last ones wore out in the knees! hmmm

That will be an AWESOME accomplishment! So happy that you are going to be able to do all that! I WILL be a runner! I have always wanted to do the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on 4th of July morning and Next Year I WILL DO IT!

Just make sure you get UNSWEETENED! The sweetened has 18g carbs and i accidentally picked it up & had to take it back LOL but they have Unflavored Unsweetened and Vanilla Unsweetened...I have both...I figure I'll use the Vanilla for Vanilla Protein as it should give it an extra kick and the vanilla really isn't all that sweet or anything so thats nice!

That is the BEST chicken broth you can have! I will probably end up doing that myself because I can't stand the taste of CANNED chicken broth! It just tastes AWFUL to me!

HEY! Your supposed to HELP ME not go against my idea LOL I don't like it on the Iphone! I always get so many errors with the connections even though it will post stuff, and I just think the website is easier to Navigate in general!

Surely NOT! You can't get any lighter when it comes to a milk product. I also bought some OJ today, I think it's called Tropicana 50, it has 50 calories BUT 12 carbs for 8oz which is kinda high but i figure if you put it in your Protein shake, you can have up to about 50g a day that it shouldn't be horrible...It is something different to add ya know! Add it to the Fuzzy Navel, with some of the frozen peaches or some strawberries. I also thought about taking powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Vanilla, Strawberries and banana and see how a smoothie goes with that!

Oh WOW! Your going ALL OUT! HAHA

I'll do that when I talk to him tomorrow or see him day before surgery. Glad you had such a great time!! I can't wait to go again!

LMAO! YES!!!!!

Oh good grief! That long??? None of the ones to stop the diarrhea does anything for you? Now that would be horrible if its so bad it runs your life! I guess I could wish for constipation then too...You'll go from to LOL

I think it would be WONDERFUL to integrate a VST Messenger! Like how facebook has theirs integrated right into the webpage! It would be so nice to use that to chat with friends on here because nobody hardly uses the chat room! Well, their is my suggestion! Use it PLEASE! Johnathan

I can say that coffee sometimes works too! Especially if it is really strong, Starbucks, a good dark roasted coffee works best IMO. Fresh and HOT and drink it fast and it sits in your gut and if your lucky it will do its job lol Good luck to everyone with this horrible problem!

MGM- You say that now but I PROMISE you don't EVER want to be constipated! I would give my left arm to go regularly! You just feel so blah all the time! I've been dealing with it for years! It really sucks!

HAHA! Just walk around naked and not care who sees! Well I would care if some see but y'all know what I mean!

Oh lord that sounds like an AWFUL experience!!! Hope i don't have a problem sliming! Hope you don't have that happen again either!

MissMistyC That was HILARIOUS!!!! (I know this was a question for the ladies but I'm nosy LOL)

Such an AWESOME NSV!!! I went to disney in 2005 (2 weeks after gallbladder surgery LOL) and It was my first time and I had SO MUCH FUN! We are going back I think in September, my little brother will be 12 when we go(he was 6 when we went last) and this will be the most fun ever! I'm really hoping to go to Universal too this time. I should be ok about 2 months post op to ride Right?
