Blenders....help



Recommended Posts

I burnt out my blender that I had for years. Now that I am post op, I didn't want a huge blender so I got a magic bullet. My problem is it doesn't crush the ice.

Does anyone have one? Can you guys post some recommendations?

Or teach me how to use it. LoL

I have the ninja.. and I love it.. it turns ice into dust. Or it can just chop it up a little. But it works well. And o have the first one it was like 40 bucks

I use it to make fruit smoothies I don't get foam when I use mine. Even if I don't put fruit in it.

I went to buy the magic bullet, but they were all out and there was one like it by a brand named Bella, which was $40 cheaper and it works great!

I have a ninja does good on ice and another smaller one hamiton beach 18.00 at Walmart not great on ice but great on frozen fruit. I put 8 oz milk one scoop of protien and some frozen strawberrys make a great shake. no ice required

I'm sure vitamax is good but the cost is not.

I have the Jimmy Buffet margarita machine which shaves ice & mixes protien shakes great! Got it at Lowes - was expensive but I use it evey day. My kids like it when I make them icees with it too :)

With the bullet make sure you are using the 4 prong blade. Mine does the trick. Also have the ninja which I pretty amazing also. Good luck :)

I wouldn't trade my Vitamix for anything! It is pricey, but worth every single penny.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
