everything! I use it for Protein Shakes, as soon as I get to puree'd food I will use it for that.

I have had it for a few years and it is great for salsa, guacamole etc... You will love it!

I just bought a small blender...it was a 1/4 of the price and will do the same thing as a magic bullet.......for several weeks after your surgery you will be on liguids and soft food.....blending it down will enable you to eat some different food...I heard of one guy who put his greek salad in the blender..he said it looked bad..but it tasted really good......he was really wanting a salad I guess...good idea I thought! :D

I bought an off brand at Target for my daughter. She loves it and makes smoothies a lot in it. It was used by her and all of her college roommates :) She said it works just as well as the magic bullet for a fraction of the price.

my grandma gave me one. lol i love it :)

i mix spices for my curries & stuff, grind coffee for my dad, make homemade whipped cream, make smoothies, beat eggs (not often, but sometimes), if i need a small amount of something, like an onion, to be blended for a recipe, then i use it for that.. beats cleaning the food processor or a whole blender just for that.. make my avocado chocolate pudding with it.. mix it up & eat it from the same container,. and can save the rest of it for later.. lol less dishes! it does great on bean dips, like hummus.. etc it's also really good for pain in the butt jobs like mixing corn starch with Water... xD

I love your ideas! Mind sharing your avocado pudding recipe? Im still Pre op but I use my bullet to make all my Protein shakes. Costo sometimes has it cheaper than anyone else. How is it for puraying foods post op? I have a juicer too that I'm hoping to "dust off"!

Off topic: I love your papillon!!! I hope it is one and I'm not offending you. I had one that looked just like it when I was very little. She was very dear.

I picked up a Bella bullet~type blender at Target for about $17 (on clearance) in purple. So far I'm using it to blend ice into my pre-op diet. We also picked up an immersion blender for post-op for larger quantities.

I LOVE my immersion blender. I am a lazy cook and i don't like to make a mess. (I really should get help for this issue!) anyway, i use the blender all the time bcs i can mix in the container i'm using. And it blends so smoothly.

      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.
