Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'm headed to the Walgreens site to see how far the closest one is to here. I'll probably either get one from there or HSN. HSN includes the juicer and blender for an extra $12. Does anyone who owns these extra attachments think they're worth the extra $$? I'm a cheapskate. LOL

Okay, ya'll, I want one of these, but can I just confess that when I see "Magic Bullet" on the New Post list, I think the topic has something to do with some type of colon cleansing procedure...???????Go Figure. Thought you all might laugh at that.

Okay, maybe not!

Thanks everyone for thier reviews. I am getting one tomorrow, at least I am going to go to a few Walgreens till I find one. Around here we have a walgreens every mile it seems. The one closest to me was out of them, but they had a tag on the shelf. I don't think it comes with the blender or juicer. But that is okay.

I also ordered on line yesterday the Smart SPin, don't know if anyone has it. It is the turny thing that holds a bunch of storage containers with lids that fit all of them. I am so tired of hunting lids and knocking glad containers on the floor. i think the web site was smartspin.com. or do a google for them, I have been waiting for walgreens to have it, but I haven't seen it there yet.

When it comes I am cleaning out the pantry in a big way and getting rid of all those odds and end containers.

I ordered my smart spin from https://www.asseenontvnetwork.com/vcc/merchant/smartspin/121748/

I am not sure if it was the cheapest, but it seemed in line from what I have seen. I bought the extra set too.

Hope it is as good as it looks.

Hello,

I'm relatively new to this website and have been reading the various posts as I begin my journey into LapBand land [had initial meeting with doctor and papers have been submitted to insurance].

Anyway, I'm pretty good at the shopping thing [a good AND bad thing]. The 49-pc Smart Spin storage container system can be purchased at either of the following websites for $14.95.

http://www.abcdistributing.com

http://www.ltdcommodities.com

Please be aware that both websites say that they do not sell to individuals, just businesses, but all you have to do is make up a company name and they will accept your orders. Their invoices arrive with the merchandise - they do not take credit cards. Also do notbe freaked out by the '3 or more' message. If you purchase 3 or more of that item you may (or may not) save a little on shipping the item, but the purchase price for 1 is the same as if you were to purchase 3.

Fair warning everyone... Both catalogs have a LOT of cute stuff at very reasonable prices, so you may become 'hooked'.

I've seen the Magic Bullet advertised in a Robinson's-May flyer for $59.99 and you got another 15% off with the in-store coupon so check out some department stores like Foley's, Macy's, Dillard's, etc. They have sales ALL the time and it's a lot easier to exchange it if you have a problem and there's NO waiting for it to arrive - I hate waiting for mail-order stuff to arrive. I want it and I want it NOW. :banana

Okay,

Bought my Magic Bullet at Walgreens today. $59.99 plus tax. Had to ask if they had any in the back, and they did, SO no running around to a different walgreens.

Anyway, I have used it three times in two hours. Made the most awesome tuna salad with it. It was really smooth. Also pulsed some veg. beef Soup a couple of times, just to make sure the chunks weren't too big. Awesome. And now I am drinking a mixture of cyrstal light grapefuit and fuzzy naval nectar Protein, with some ice and have myself a slushie sorta thing.

Well that is my review so far.

Have a wonderful friday everyone.

      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.
