I have a really nice Vitamix blender. I want to know who has something like the ninja, magic bullet, or nutribullet with the single serve cups and why you like it. I am thinking about getting one just for my shakes for after surgery so I don't have to wash the big blender every time.

I had a nutra bullet...then got the nutra ninja for Christmas. What a difference! Comes with both pitcher and single serve which use the same base. Makes veggie/fruit much less "chunky" than the bullet...and can handle ice. Makes Protein Shakes with frozen fruit. Really loud though....

I am starting week 2 of my Optifast drinks. I just bought a nutri ninja with the auto iq. I have used it twice and LOVE it. I put some crushed ice in it and my drink for a smoothie taste for something different. No ice chunks at all in it. I have a full size ninja and this works tons better for single servings. Especially smoothies. Can't wait till I can puree some real food in it. Good luck

I wouldn't use a blender with shakes right after surgery. It whips air into your shakes making them thicker and harder to drink.

I used a Blender Bottle. Thin shakes make it easier to drink and meet your Protein goals. Later I used by bullet when I made iced coffee with unflavored Protein powder.

I actually leave mine in the fridge for a few hours to let the air settle out! I can't stand the texture I get from just shaking in the Blender Bottle, so I make my day's worth of shakes in the morning and leave the bottle in the fridge and then have really smooth, really tasty shakes all day long!

I use an immersion blender -- that way clean up is even easier than any kind of Ninja/Bullet/whatever, and it doesn't whip any air into your shakes. No letting them wait in the fridge to settle or choking on foam. You can drink them right away :)

I have the ninja with auto iq. I've had it for about 5 months. It works great. I add frozen fruit, spinach or kale. It blends it up really smooth. It does have the individual size cups. It's loud, but it has a lot of power.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
