I just wanted to introduce my self. I am Sophia and my surgery date is set for the 24th, I am excited nervous and scared , but I know in the end it will all be worth it. I am on the liquid pre op diet right now and I am having the hardest time. I have to tell my brain and mouth NO! a lot. Is any one else going through the pre op diet as well, any advise for those who have already gone through it? I keep telling my self 4 more days and then my brain says nope, its a few more weeks... lol!

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.
