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.

      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.
