I have read on a couple of the post about a bullet machine that purees food?!? Can anyone tell me what it is and where I can get one. I want to be ready.

Thanks :)

I got mine at Wal-mart for about $60. You can also order online and get 2 for $99 I think. I would not be able to function without mine. I used it to make my own cream Soups during the pre-op liquids and post-op liquids phases. It is so wonderful for the Protein Shakes. I put a little ice in with mine and it makes it so much better. They are well worth the money. I actually bought a second one for when I wear the first one out. Much easier than a blender because you can drink right out of the container you mix it in. Saves a lot of dish washing!

I got one too. I use it for my morning Protein Shakes, to mix pancake mix for my kids, to ground coffee, etc. I love it! I am going to take my coffee grinder off the counter top. I hate cleaning that thing up after I use it, and it takes up space I could use. I think I am most excited about the coffee grinding than anything.

Here's a link to a thread started two days ago about this as well.

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/bullet-t33450.html

You can get them at Kohl's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, etc...

They average around $60 and most folks that have them love them, though there are a few folks that used it a couple of times and it collects dust.

They only have 225watts of power but come with a few cups for blending and storage and are small.

I would suggest if you already have a nice blender that has the screw-off bottom blade assembly you not spend more money. A regular mouth mason jar, which you can buy in cases of 12 for a few dollars in sizes ranging from 1 cup (1/2 pint) up to a quart will fit right on there. And you have many jars to store things in.

Walmart.com carries a personal blender by the brand name of Back To Basics that is about $18 and has 350 Watts. Big difference between 350 and 225. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3609512

Here's a similar product to the Magic Bullet for a bit less: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4756038

Here's the Magic Bullet:

If you do not shop at Walmart, you can find these items many other places. Perhaps do a Yahoo Shopping search for either Magic Bullet, Koolatron or Back To Basics.

I just bought a new Oster 12 speed, 450 watt blender that came with a food processor attachment, and a free personal blender jar. I needed a new blender anyway.

I guess I'm a whore for infomercials! I love my Magic Bullet. I used it for liquid and mushie stage and now I use it daily for my protien shakes. Mine came with 4 migs and that's what I mix my shakes in. I think I can recite the entire infomercial including the british guy's accent!

I ordered mine off the informical also where they claim that you buy one get one free....well you dont....you pay for both. I actually need two though because I travel quite a bit for work and last week while I was away from home for 4 days I just packed it and took it with me. I packed my Protein Powder and I had a small cooler that I took with some fruit and then stopped at a gas station and picked up skim milk or orange juice, depending on what I was making and just fixed it right there in the room. Hotels always have ice so it was easy. I love the magic bullet and it is the perfect size for me to travel with.

      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.
