I had cream of tomato soup without any problem. And, my blender crushes

ice, but I know from past experience that not all do, so if you are buying

one for this purpose, buy a good one! I feel like I could eat anything, but

I am not. Sticking to the soups/juices.

Diane,

I think we can all say we have been the " butt " of jokes and

comments. I am now 51 and decided a few years ago that when

even someone looks at me with " that look " that I would think he/she

thought I was attractive. It works for me. I have lost 100 pounds

twice and put it back on plus some. I am sick and tired of being fat

and wondering if I will fit in a plane seat, a turn style, or a lawn chair.

As I am a dual citizen born and reared in the US and now a

Canadian having married my sweet heart five years ago who is from

Canada, I had enquired about WLS in the US and was told it was

not covered by my insurance. It is covered here in Canada but the

wait list is 2-years-long. I am getting close to my surgery date. I

have done gobs of research and am ready, willing and able. I have

no concerns about the surgery. You will do your research and you

will become comfortable with your choice. Ask questions and check

out our files. They are full of information. Good luck with your

journey.:-)~~Maureen~~
