I’m about 10 days post op and have definitely used my immersion blender more than my vitamix. Unless you are making large batches of Soups or smoothies, the immersion blender is way more useful for emuslifying Soups, etc. That said, I have used my vitamix to puree stews and fruit with stevia (so I can add some lower cal sweetness to plain nonfat greek yogurt). I freeze the puree in silicone ramekins so I can store them in a zip lock bag and take out small portions. Hope that helps!
Yes it does! I am also finding that my small ninja processor is doing the job like you said because of such small amounts. But I think the Vitamix will come in handy down the road! Thanks for the input!

I, too, have a Ninja that I bought either as a woot or Amazon deal last Christmas. I looked at getting a Vitamix when I saw everyone raving about them, but honestly it’s a lot of money for something that that would only get used heavily for a short term (in my case).

That said, my Ninja has been killllllling it.

Oh- I also put a ban on us buying any more Kitchen gadgets, cause we don’t have the storage.

      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.
