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"!

Well I am a week out of surgery and starting puree'd foods. LOVE my magic Bullet!! I am making taco Soup tomorrow night and I will run it through the bullet and enjoy with my family. Also love my cup warmer. It really keeps my food hot while I take 1/2 hour to eat!!

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.

        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.

      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
