My sister has a Health Master and I've been using that a lot (the one Montel hypes). That thing is pretty amazing!

I use my blender every day and I'm thinking that my mini food processor will likely be my favorite thing - so easy to use and to clean!

I have one of those Cuisinart blender sticks kind of things. It is so easy to clean!!! Much easier than taking out a blender when you need to puree. Just do it right in the pot! I just don't know what it is called, but it is beautiful!

I have a Ninja blender with multiple attachments. Very easy to clean and with multiple sizes and a lid it can go straight to the fridge. I also have a stick blender (aka the boat motor). I am looking to add a dehydrator to make my own Jerky as we hike a lot and also a ice cream maker to start making Protein ice cream from the website of the world according to eggface. I just purchased a mini food saver since I don't eat as much to freeze smaller portions.

My food processor is an old 12 cup job that was my husband's grandmothers so it's a 1970s/80s model.

I love my little Magic Bullet! I bought mine off the TV ad, but now I'm seeing them in Walmart. This includes all the accessories.

I make my Protein drinks in it. Dump everything in the cup (including 2 ice cubes) pop on the blade part and whip it all up. Rinse off the blade part and just stick my straw in the cup and drink it. Easy to clean!

Love my magic bullet - bought mine at costco for $35.99! It's small and easy to store and whips through anything. Clean up is a breeze~

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
