I used mine during the pre-op diet, then during the liquid post-op phase. Now at almost 6 months out I use it only use it once a week or so.

I am due to have surgery in December, and I went ahead and got the Vitamix....omg, that thing is amazeballs. No lumps, everything has an awesome consistancy, I have even done Soups, and sorbets in it. The only downside, is it sounds like a jet engine when you go full speed..... it's crazy powerfull. I didn't shell out the full money though, I got a reburished on for much less on the vitamix website itself, and it comes with a 5 year warranty. If you opt for a vitamix, make sure you get it through the website, I have heard problems with the warranty if not purchased through vitamix.

We have a Ninja system. Good price at costco. I don't necessarily use it because of the WLS. My family makes smoothies every day. I am trying to up my calories to level off my weight loss so I will be using it more.

I did not buy it for my puree or mush food stage. If that's your only need then it's a waste of money.

I bought the Ninja mega kitchen system back in April and I use it every day, sometimes twice a day. I love it! It was one of the best purchases I made. I would suggest getting something with high rpm (higher than the Nutri-bullet) - the Ninja and Vitamix are the best.

I use it for my Protein shakes obviously but the other uses are endless. It stays out on the counter and gets plenty of use.

      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.
