Hi destynee I have this one at home and it has served me well. http://www.amazon.com/MaxiMatic-EPB-1800-300-Watt-17-Piece-Personal/dp/B001ASAVPA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_6

I used it for my medifast while I was preparing for surgery and it blended and crushed ice great! I also used it to puree meat, vegetable, Soups, stews etc.

I highly recommend the Magic Bullet it's perfect!!! Look on Kijiji to find a used one if u want it really cheap but they aren't that expensive from Walmart or costco. I used it post op to purée everything it was great!!!

The bullet is good for puree and blending, it does not crush ice, it just spins it, unless you let it run forever and then it isn't slushy, just more Fluid. I like my bullet except for the lack of ice crushing.

Really?! Maybe u were using the wrong blade attachment I used it to crush ice to make my Protein shakes everyday 3x a day and it worked great. I would even fill the cup with ice then brew a small coffee over the ice add more ice the Protein powder and make an iced coffee it was delicious and worked excellent. Most come with 2 blade attachments u have to use the bigger blades for ice...

Nope, I have 2 blades, use the larger one and it just spins the ice. I have to sit there a pulse it or let it run til it disintegrates the ice and there is not even slush. I like it otherwise. but never get crushed ice.

I, too, have an off brand magic bullet type blender and love it for pureeing and I make my shake in the morning and it crushes the ice. Not sure why it didn't work for one of the other posters but it works for me. :) I was lucky enough to come across mine at a garage sale for $5.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
