I had one similar to MB that worked ok but the blade broke on frozen fruit and finally the motor burned up. Just before my surgery I got the Back to Basics brand with the more powerful 350 watt motor and it is awesome! No problem with ice or frozen fruit! Love it!

I couldn't agree more...no wonder you are weak, poor thing! I had to do strict clear liquids x3 days and thought I would lose it! Lightheadedness got better after started protein shakes and strained creamed soups(with whey protein added) on day 4. My doc's nutritionist starts mushies on day 15. And I thought this seemed rather extreme....I'm told 60 gms protein/day is the goal to promote healing and prevent muscle wasting and hair loss. Hang in there, energy should be better now that you are using shakes.

you said it so perfectly, bg. to be free of food ruling you would be the biggest joy. I too did this because I know I can't count the points of every morsel for the rest of my life. I hope the LB teaches me to recognize when to stop and allows me to have a "normal" life someday. hang in there lady! I know I suck at keeping secrets so I have told those most important to me. and human nature being what it is I'm sure word is spreading as we speak. But I will have to set limits with them as to what they are able to say to me about it. I will not tolerate negativity and if they can't get be supportive, I don't have time for them in my life. these are the times when you find out who really cares.
