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!

Good info all... Did some schedule changes, and am now scheduled to be banded next Wednesday, June 18. That gives me an extra 10 days to recover for these activities. Plus, I get started sooner. Plus I have 10 less days to worry about the procedure :behindsofa:

Good info, thanks!

I am scheduled to be banded on June 27 by Dr. Spivak here in Houston. It's a Friday. I've got a party to go to the next night. I know I won't be eating or drinking there, but will I at least be able to make a brief appearance? Also have some travel coming up. Mexico in late July, Europe in early August. I should feel OK then, right? FYI, I'm 6'3" and weigh 290. My goal weight is maybe 215? If I follow the rules pretty closely, what sort of weight loss might I expect over the first few months? Thanks, looking forward to a successful journey...
