Re: To zip-n-squeeze from Sabine

[Guest guest]

Sabine...

Thank you!

What beautiful things to say about Zip-N-Squeeze! That's exactly

why I developed the squeeze bags: because the syringes are awkward,

messy and SO energy consuming to use!

The problem is ...no one knows what it's like (in a condition such as

post-op jaw surgery) to have to consume an entire diet via a

syringe....except the nurse and the patient! Don't get me

wrong...there are many caring surgeons....but their main focus is the

surgery. It's the nurses and the patients afterward that take it from

there. Most Docs rarely get to see what it takes to eat with that

syringe!

The Zip-N-Squeeze aren't perfect, but I think they are a HUGE step up

from the syringe, and even when cups and straws can be used but are

difficult and tiring, the " zippies " can help get more nourishment in

easier. I am working on improving the products daily. I'm really

excited about this little post-op cleft feeder I'm going to introduce

at the Cleft palate convention in 10 days!

Lastly, I WILL have my l-o-n-g- awaited liquid diet teaching/recipe

book ready by June. (should have been done long ago) I felt a great

need to teach people how to get good nutrition in while on a liquid

diet and why it's SO important.

Well....that sure was LONG winded! Sorry, just sitting here drinking

my coffee and reading E-Mails!

Do you mind if I use what you posted as a testimonial for my product?

I love to collect letters and display them at the conventions I go to.

Thanks again Sabine!

Sabine.......anyone else who has used Zip-N-Squeeze and is

still on the board?

Do you have any pictures post-op you would like to send to me that I

can put with a testimonial? I have a AAOMS (American Association of

Oral & Maxillofacial surgeons) convention that I will be exhibiting

the Zip-N-Squeeze at this summer.

I would like to get a few pics if possible of post-op faces and place

them next to your words about Zip-N-Squeeze! Even better if you have

any pics USING zip-n-squeeze! Pictures are powerful proof, showing

the results of zip-n-squeeze from people who have used the products!

Away with syringes!

Thanks ahead of time!

If you are interested in helping me spread the word to others that

there is an easier way to take in a liquid diet after surgery, you

can send pics/info to:

!

I would be happy if you use my testimonial. I haven't used your bags

since Thursday, since I am now official off a liquid diet, but I have

already lost 2lbs again. It is still too hard to get a lot of food

in by cutting everything up in small pieces and swallow it. Andy

even using the regular straw is so much more work then using the zip-

n-sqeeze. I might have to use the bags for a couple more days, till

I get the hang of eating 'real' food.

Thanks for making a great product.

Hey, ! Book ready by June!! Wow. In time to send it to me by

June 24???

Can I be your first customer?? Hey, Can I? Can I? said she, sounding

like a first-grader who senses a lollipop in the offing.

Seriously, tell me how much, and I'll send you a check!

By the way, , I also left one of each type for my neurologist.

After seeing some of her post-stroke patients, and others with

similar troubles, it occurred to me that she might have folks who

need them, too. And she's like you -- the sort of sweet person who

really cares, and will jump at anything that might be helpful for her

patients, I think.

Haven't heard anything back from her about them, but if I do, will

let you know.

Thank you Cammie!

That was So thoughtful of you to tell your neurologist about the Zip-

N-Squeeze. I had a friend of mine use them once on a patient in a

nursing home who was refusing to eat or take in liquid

supplements.

My friend said as soon as she filled the ZNS bag up with Ensure,

slipped the tube to the side of the ladys mouth and gently

squeezed...the lady drank down the entire thing!! Turns out she had

such muscle weakness in the front of her mouth she couldn't pull the

food or fluids to the back of her mouth to swallow! Her swallowing

was intact so there was no risk of choking....she had just given up

because it was too much work to eat and couldn't talk well enough to

tell anyone! My freind said soo this lady began to perk up and put

weight back on. I tell ya, stories like THAT make me feel SO

good...keeps me going with this project!!

Lastly, YES! I would love for you to be the very first person to

have a copy of this S-L-O-W-L-y evolving book! I keep having to set

it aside for other projects. After I come back from the Cleft palate

convention at the end of the month, I will get right on finishing the

book up. As a matter of fact, I think I will send you a copy BERFORE

publishing...and have you give me your take on it...being in the

editing business and such a staple to this support group!

Well...got to run,

Thanks again Cammie!

Whoopie! And Thanks!

Once I got to say " Stop the Press! " three times in one morning --

that's gotta be some kind of record, don't you think.

And now I get to say, " Hot off the press! " too. Wowser!

I look forward to seeing it, . If you want me to proofread or

copyedit, the offer still stands. Usually folks run out of time, but

you'll discover that recipe critics are like no others. There's a

HUGE Gotcha! squad out there who love to find errors and tell you

about them!

Thanks.
