@@dragonfly78 glad to hear about the same time frame we are on. I juust now openedd new nutribullet and what an amazing device! Several people asking me about what I was told to puree. Basically anything but was told it should be high protein (eggs, greek yogurt, beans, cottage cheese, lentils) The lentil stuff is from Costco and yum! I was told to puree the scrambled eggs and that was terrible. I read some where else just to scramble the eggs and undercook them and that was better. Cottage cheese from Cost co is pretty runny so haven't pureed that or Greek yogurt, tomorrow will try pureed chicken and broth. Yes I have been eating pureed food since day 2 in the hospital. I've also used applesauce to get some of my meds down. I am a total worrywart but have been pleasantly surprised that it's been easier than I thought it would be. It's great not needing to eat much and having little hunger

@@pindoctor I love my nutribullet, although I haven't been pureeing foods at this point. I have been sticking to either greek yogurt, small curd cottage cheese (I got the Breakstone in the individual cups) and I've done a couple eggs while just chewing the eggs and cottage cheese well before swallowing. Thankfully I only have to take one small pill twice per day along with any pain pill that I need so I have been able to take them with sips of water (weird sensation feeling the pill do down all the way now). I am looking forward to using the Nutribullet for more "involved" protein shakes in the near future. My surgeon's nurse gave me a sheet with some great recipes. It has been amazing how you really do feel full after only a few bites. I am looking to my next stage of foods, which is day 14-30, when I move into 2-3 ounces of regular textured proteins per meal (other than red meat) and a couple bites of soft canned or fresh fruit. Oh, and I can add beans, so I am planning on making a ground turkey chili!!

Ok, had my pre-op visit with the surgeon. Everything is a go. He said he would not put a drain in, thank you

I will have to give myself injections in the tummy for a week, to prevent blood clots.

Getting a tad nervous, but excited too.

So today is the day! I can't believe it's finally here, it has been a long process to get here,7 months. I didn't think I would sleep at all but I slept all night. I am so ready for this but still a little nervous about the effects after surgery. I am very good with pain but not with nausea, I hope I am one of the lucky ones!

Congrats elliesgaga! Let us know how it goes.

Think positive thoughts. It will be worth it all. Keep us posted!

I am having problems getting all the liquid in. They want me to get 48-64. I'm 5 days post op and I am lucky to get 35oz. Is anyone else having problems with it???

I weigh myself every time I go to the bathroom! It's amazing how it changes. I've only lost about 14 pounds but 35 inches! @@toler48 - the hernia repair caused a little more pain in that area but soon forgotten! Good luck.

@@saraburnett I cannot get my liquids in either! Today I'm going to keep a journal to see where my down time is. Hopefully this will help. Good luck to you. Are you getting your protein in? I'm not getting enough.

September 15 for me (7 hours time!)
