Did any of you go out and pick up one of those high end blenders, like the Blendtec or Vitamix for your liquid / puree diet phase?

If you did, was it worth it? Do you continue to use it?

I actually just bought the Ninja kitchen System and I love it. It is cheaper than the VitaMix (I bought the 1200watt system for $179 on the Ninja website). I haven't had my surgery yet, but I use it a lot for making fruit smoothies, etc.

I am pre sleeve, but I am attempting to be really prepared for my surgery. I even went on a liquid diet, the purée phase of the diet for a couple of days.

I have a blender and a magic bullet (blender thing). The magic bullet was much better at doing any of the tasks.

THEN....I purchased a Ninja. Wth? This thing could purée shingles off my roof - in case i ever wanted to eat them. I love this thing.

The difference? One is around $50 and the other is $100 or above (depending on the gadgets you like and I am a kitchen gadget *****) the ninja does make more in quantity so you can freeze, etc. but, with the amount we eat during that phase, probably doesn't matter much.

Hope this helps. :)

      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.
