Freakin' blender balls!



Recommended Posts

Hand washing would be good for one, but I've got four everyday to wash, sometimes more on top of the other dishes, so I shove everything in the dishwasher after loosening any crusty stuff on the lid by running a knife around the edge. Unfortunately, my silverware section is too narrow to fit the balls in and I don't have the other baskets since I'm the second owner of the dishwasher. They don't even have to get to the dishwasher though- 3 or 4 blender bottles taken apart in the sink dishwater, I've reached in to find 2 blender balls entwined like someone spent time twisting them together! When it happens a few times it's fine, but over the course of a year it gets soooo annoying. We'll have even more blender bottles soon with me having my surgery this June- my husband had his last July. Oh well, at least we know we're getting our Protein in! Thanks for the advice!

I put them in the dishwasher top rack and I stick them on the rack as in the put the rack peg through the whole in the blender ball they stay put and don't get caught. I had one get caught and then I started doing this.

I would make fiddleman wash his own balls..

LOL - I know, right!? Ah well, after surgery he'll get to do everything for a while, so that thought brings me joy. ;)

Thanks for this idea- I will look for one. No babies for me yet so don't have any on hand. Actually, that's one of the reasons for me having surgery- 3 years of trying and no babies and after researching options I realised that I was too heavy for most IVF and adoption foundations to approve me!

I still use the basket that my sons bottle nipples went in. He still uses sippy cups so I still use it for those too but I throw the blender ball in there too. If you are really frustrated, I would say go check it out in the baby isle as I'm sure it's not more than 10 or 15 dollars.

      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.
