I tried to post an "Intro" for weeks and just couldn't

KittehPuss

But I got interested in a Nutribullet gizmo and one thing led to another, which led to a thread on these boards about the gizmo and I started to reply and found I'd also written a decent introduction. As well as one hell of a good start on a 1000 page novel. So I know I must have broken some rules, but here is the post i placed in the 1Anyone tried the Nutribullet blender thread ? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/588824-anyone-tried-the-nutribullet-blender?page=6

The new model, the Nutribullet 900 PRO version. Going for about $149 at BB&B at the moment. You can get a BB&B 20% off coupon that will work if your interested.



I was trying to respond to someone who posted something about what was "the best" gizmo like this for about $150.

Anyway, while I'm "here" again, Some years ago I bought a Breville KickAss juicer in preparation for having all of my upper teeth removed and a denture put in.

The Breville works GREAT! But I discovered after buying expensive fruits and vegetables (I live in Alaska) it took about half an hour for me to assemble the device on my counter top, cut up the goodies, juice them, drink the small glass of wonderfulness, and then CLEAN the thing, and put it away.

Bottom line? I have a three ear old KickAss Breville juicer for sale. Not a mark on it, it's hardly been used.

But I did learn some things that should help a bunch of people who've posted in this thread. After you select you healthy veggies etc. things like Kale, you remember to throw in an apple or something similar. The result is a juice that is really good for you and doesn't remind you of licking the bottom of a trash can left behind a Chinese restaurant.

Not hard to do, making a HEALTHY drink taste GOOD.

I know I'm a newcomer and who do I think I am etc. for posting stuff like this but I gotta start somewhere. Last week I weighed 279, I bet today I weigh over 285. I'm going to a barbaric (Interestingly the website has "bariatric" underlined as misspelled and would like to replace it "barbaric") with surgeon who is "medically supervising" my diet. But what I need is a 300 pound MEAN nurse to stand by my bedside an wallop the Hell out of me every time I wake up and reach in my bedside drawer for Honey Ham sticks and a handful of spice drops.

I'm killing myself by eating and all I have to do to save my life is just not put some things in my mouth and put others in. I bet a terminal cancer patient could do that to save their life. But I sure find myself failing at it.

Anyway one of the nurses at the Barbaric Surgeons office mentioned this website and I looked it over and was impressed so I signed up.

I have lost over 50 pounds four times in my life. Each time it took MONTHS to FINALLY begin some kind of diet and exercise program, and each time I lost weight and got to put on smaller clothes and have people say "MY GOODNESS DON'T YOU LOOK WONDERFUL!". And then something would distract me. The last time it was my "bad" knee REALLY going out. Even percocets and steroid injections left me hurting. So I rewarded myself by eating garbage.

But I have LEARNED something. To lose weight I need to make a "lifestyle" change. To keep it off I think I'm going to have to figure out how to make the change permanent. It's gotta be something that IS "me". ANd for that t happen it's gotta be something I enjoy and like or I JUST WON'T STICK WITH IT.

That was three years ago, and now I have a really painful back condition. Once again I am on percocet but THIS time it's pretty much permanent. I've had 16 knee operations, 5 or 6 on an ankle, and a few others here and there but to get the kind of back surgery I need (That doesn't have the greatest promise of actually stopping the pain) I either allow a surgeon to leave me with a foot long incision and muscles and tendons chopped through. (As a diabetic that would take a LONG time, if ever to heal, or pay $30,000 (A heavily discounted rate from a group in La Jolla I think) for a "minimally invasive operation that leaves a 1.5 inch incision. Turns out there are no Spinal Orthos here who take Medicare. Or travel to another State to have the surgery. My income is mostly disability with a little money from a part time job. And embarrassing as it is, I don't have the bucks for airfare and the hotel.Plus there are other problems like who will write the post-op RX's, no local will.

ANYWAY I suspect I'm gonna get one of these nutribullet whizbangs myself.

Please, please forgive this garbled post. I've been wanting to make one for a while and it just sort of all came out at one...

I think there are a LOT of really GOOD people who post here and are people I'd like to emulate.
