So I was at costco this weekend and watched an amazing presentation on the Blendtec blender/processor which directly competes with Vitamix but is about $100 less. It's amazing. It has smoothie, ice cream, and Soup settings. You can make homemade Soups, purees and other creations in seconds. Toss some roasted chicken and almond milk with roasted red peppers and herbs for an amazing Soup made in 90 seconds! Freeze for weekday meals! So easy! I'm serious, he made an "ice cream" which had: banana, spinach, plain coconut milk and ice - it was amazing and thick and totally healthy! No added sugar. You can also add beets, pineapple, all sorts of things for your Fiber but in a more digestible form. This is not juicing, it's whole foods at it's best. And the best part is that you can get 2-3 oz storage containers (like for baby food) and freeze/store for later! So getting this thing!!!

Don't forget many vegetables have protein! You can add some silk tofu into a veggie Soup for a Protein and Fiber rich soup if you don't want animal Protein in every meal. Cancer reducing veggies are great for skin too! Eat the rainbow!

Ok... I am 'research girl'.. best place to get blendtec is bed bath and beyond. Call the closest store, order it, use a 20% off coupon and ask for free shipping. Comes to just under 350 :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
