yes, i certainly will keep you posted. im online checking on everyones progress and my appointment is wednesday week. im not sure how long after that i will have the surgery. i want to get it over and done with as soon as possible as winter is coming and its hard on us. I want to feel confident about my diet when winter is truly here ... thats goign to be the litmus test for me. I did ask somewhere, not sure if it was here though. i need to buy an appliance that will puree and also juice. Does anyone have any ideas on what i can buy?? i have no idea at the moment... i think i would want the appliance to do both. What do the rest of you use? judych

I have a vitamix, and I LOVE IT!!!! They are a little pricey but they they last and are amazing!!! this will even blend up the seads in strawberries! My smoothies are not full of seeds, and I still get the amazing nutriance the seeds offer.

I just use a handmixer for pretty much everything. I have never been a smoothie person and like to eat my calories. The handmixer works for everything that I need an appliance for.

..thanks for this. im about to buy a breville light and mighty blender.. that should help a lot. i like eating my calories as well but i still need an appliance for smoothies etc etc. how long did it take before you could eat... say.. salad? ? i love salads.
