Hi All,

What a long day yesterday! I had my PREOP/Consent day yesterday. I was exhausted, with all the waiting in the waiting rooms etc.

I was a little concerned becaue all of my paperwork for Ant., Nut stated I was getting the RNY...I almost freaked! Good thing I brought ALL my paperwork. ......I guess because I was approved for RNY at first they for got to change everything, when I got approved for DS.

I start my PreOP on Friday....I am sort of freaking out because I have to go shopping.

I am suppose to invest in a Blender that puree's, I would rather buy the food already at a pureed consistancy...(too much work)

That's it for now! I AM READY!!!!

I am glad to hear that things are moving along for you.  Baby food will work, but you might have to season it a bit to make it tase better.

Your day will be here soon!

Yes, sometimes the pre op apt is very long. My doctor's office tells patients to plan on being there for 3-4 hours. We have Power Point new life style learning in office and then we see the dietitian, exercise physiologist, have labs drawn and see the doctor.

As far as a blender what I did was purchase a small Cuisinart chopper/mini processor. I think that back in 2003 it cost me about $25 at Target. I just looked at their web site and the price has gone up a little but I am going to guess that you can get a unit cheaper at Wally World, KMart or Target.  It worked out real well and then my husband who had RNY 4 months after me used it also. I still use the little unit as it is real handy for smaller jobs instead of bringing out the big huge processor.

I do love my Magic Bullet also. We mainly use it for protein drinks but I use it to grind my dry herbs.
