As I get ready to begin my journey with the band, I am trying to figure out what people are using to puree food when they get to that stage. There are so many different blenders and food processors out there I would appreciate some input as to what works the best. Thanks

I really wanted a Magic Bullet however $50 seemed steep so I went with the Sunbeam Kitchen Assistant. It was under $25, and came with a TON of storage containers that have come in really handy!

I got the magic bullet for Christmas in anticipation for my banding. I expect it will come in very handy. I was just banded 4/1

I use a hand blender, or as we call it....boat motor. It does it all very well and the price was right. I wish I had this when my children were on baby foods. I would have saved a lot of money not buying store bought foods. Good luck to you!

I have the magic bullet, and I was satisfied with it. But I got a vita-mix and have been in love!!! This thing purees anything in a few minutes. I have made something every day for the last 2 weeks with it!! It is well worth the cost.

      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.
