My reply is to the juicing comment, in my opinion it is one of the worst things you an do. The band is meant to be used with high protein solids. Juices will not keep you satisfied and have a lot of sugar. I have never seen this suggested before.

Dag sorry cant delete on iPad

Sorry just reread my post the peanut butter was for the vita mix. It can pulverize anything.

Low sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce and anything like those are still extremely high in sodium.

Splenda should be fine but sounds good either way. How is the sodium?

Awesome!! Way to go!!

well.... I have a vita mix. It is the King daddy of all blenders and it costs as much. You can even blend veggies up and keep blending until they heat up for soup. They sell it at Costco and online. I have heard the bullet is a good choice. You can put in peanuts nothing else and it makes the most amazing peanut butter or any other nuts.

I add sf ff pudding mix to my shakes. I was able to do any except for pistachio. Ask your Dr. Also some people drink Isopure. You can look it up on line. You also can add Pb2 which is like peanut flour to get a peanut butter taste. Good luck on your surgery!!

Wow you look amazing and I love love your story. Thanks for sharing and welcome back!

I get a pain in the left side of my neck sometimes and the back of my left shoulder. I am four years out. Usually I take gas x and try to walk around. A lot of times it means I have had at least a bite too many.

Thanks so much for sharing!

It really does sound like you are stuck.

May need to check for a slip if your doctor did not already do so.

Good for you. I read your posts all the time. I would not choose my experience to be like yours.

I wish I never was hungry but then I guess I would not enjoy my food as much.

You can take tylenol but not with or near your pain meds because I think that has Tylenol in it. Definately ask dr or pharmacist. Never rely on forrum for those types of questions.

I never had a purée stage went from full liquids to mushy.

I had a quinoa tabouli today from a health food store it was amazing and had absolutely no problems with it.

Sorry you are having such a difficult time Josh. Please keep us posted and sending good thoughts your way.

Congrats on your surgery!! You might need a lactose free protein shake. A lot of people have problems with shakes due to lactose. Also check out Isopure drinks. You can get them at the Vitamin Shoppe and google to find out where else.
