I've thought about getting one. I was wondering if it would be helpful. I won't have surgery until June, but Iwant to stock up on the things that I will need/use after.

What's an air fryer???

From what I've read, it uses only a tiny bit of oil to "fry" foods. I'm not exactly sure how it works. My only fear, is that if I get one, it might keep giving me cravings for fried foods. I think I'd be better off not eating ANYTHING fried, even if it's healthier.

Airfryer makes it possible to enjoy healthier version of your favorite foods by frying them with a tablespoon or less of oil and draining excess fat during cooking. The unique starfish shape circulates air around the entire unit, heating up to 390 degrees to ensure all food is cooked evenly. food becomes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The Philips Airfryer does more than just fry. It can also grill, roast, steam and even bake your food so you have more quick and easy options when feeding your family or entertaining guests. Gordon Ramsay, a Michelin-star chef and restaurateur, has teamed up with Philips Airfryer and created healthy chef quality dishes that are both fast and delicious.

We've owned an air fryer for about 6 months and my entire family agrees that it was my best purchase ever! We use it everyday and have never put oil in it. My son eats chicken/fries in it often and I've never even used oil for that. I can't wait to be on solids so that I can cook chicken breast in it. I would highly recommend one. The food cooks fast and comes out delicious!

I have a Paula Dean air fryer and had it months before my sleeve. It's wonderful and it makes everything taste wonderful and very crispy with just a very few sprays of a good olive or coconut oil. The problem is is that you are frying foods that are BREADED so that fact alone may be enough to keep you from investing in one knowing that you'd be eating breaded foods, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this right away but maybe down the road as a treat to occasionally air fry some appetizers or corndogs or chicken nuggets etc. in the healthiest way that's possible to prepare a fried food. It's a fun toy but not a cheap toy and probably shouldn't be a priority for anybody working on losing weight . ????

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
