I purchased a Magic Bullet at Wal-Mart. I love my bullet. It does a good job and it is easy to clean.

I have a Hamilton Beach Single Serve blender that I use for mixing my shakes with. It crushes ice better than any regular sized blender I own. I purchased it from Walmart for about $14. Yep, it's inexpensive but it works great!

J.C Penney has a Cooks Power Blender on sale in their ad today. It kind of reminds me of a Magic Bullet. Does anyone know whether this one is worth the cost even at half price? I have a very worn Krups that is in bad need of replacement.

Consumer Reports doesn't think much of the Magic Bullet yet people seem to love theirs. What's up with that?

For anyone interested in getting a Magic Bullet, Walgreens has it on sale this week $10 off. I got a Cooks at Penneys which is similar and they have it in today's add for $29.99, which is half price. Nice to have options. Haven't had the Cooks long enough to know if I would recommend it, however.

I was at Macy's yesterday and went to check out that Magic Bullet and another similar one...

The cups seem so flimsy to me. And the funniest part was, the similar one they had on display had all broken cups!!! I thought to myself- "there's a marketing genius for ya"! LMAO

I still cannot decide... and I guess if it breaks or if you need more cups, maybe you can just call the company! :wink2:

From the posts on the boards I've been reading the past 2 years.......and from the customer reviews on Amazon.com - while MB works, it works great. But many of them don't last long, and when they quit, the customer service is non-existant. You might look over the reviews yourself and see wht you think.

I have had great luck, and so have many others I know, with the Hamilton Beach Personal Blender - $15 at WM or Target or Kitchen Connection. It crushes ice nicely and is just the right size for one shake.

      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.
