Salad chopper and other kitchen gadgets



Recommended Posts

Just seen this on Amazon and thought it could be of use for people who are earlier out and having a difficult time tolerating lettuce. It looks kinda like a double pizza cutter with a big bowl but it is designed to chop salad down to much smaller pieces that would be easier on our tummies. Well it won’t let me copy the link but just search salad chopper. It’s called salad chopper blade and bowl. Actually there is another lettuce chopper that comes up too that’s only ten bucks that may be sufficient too and even salad scissors. Has anyone tried any of these? Or do you have any suggestions for favorite kitchen gadgets that make prepping healthier food easier??

One gadget i use everyday since i had surgery is the Nuwave Infrared oven. I cook everything in it (except eggs lol) Its quick too. I cook my chicken, fish, turkey in it. Just used it to cook some king salmon 20 minutes ago. Took only 4 minutes on each side. No oil no spraying.

I just searched it and watched the video for the new primo version. That looks pretty cool. I would have to get rid of my instapot so I would have somewhere to store it though. Still haven’t figured that one out. It supposedly makes really good tender meat too but I just haven’t played with it too much. Wonder if anyone has tried them both.

Works great for steamed veggies too. That’s all I have done so far.

      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.
