I'm just starting the lap band process but wonder if my smoothie maker would serve the same purpose as a Magic Bullet? Thanks for any responses!

You can make your Protein shake any quantity you want. I usually make a 10 oz.

I use whey Protein (4 tbsp), a cup of frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries or peaches) with a packet of Splenda, a couple of ice cubes and 1% milk. You can add a couple slices of banana for frothiness.

My Bullet does its magic and I have a yummy high Protein Drink to start my day.

Enjoy!

I love my bullet and use it daily for my Muscle Milk shake. My only complaint is that the cups have these little notches that fit into the bullet and lock it in place and allow the bullet to turn on. Sometimes my machine wasn't working and I realized some of the notches have broken off so I have to make sure what cup I use. I think if I replace it I'll go with the cheaper Hamilton Beach version.

After reading all these recommendations for the bullet and knowing that my sister highly recommends the one that her family bought her after gastric bypass surgery I just bought one from Amazon. I can't wait for it to arrive now and am going to sit like a spider by the letter box waiting for it :sad:

My DH just got me this as an early Christmas present. I'm getting banded on 12/17. He got it for me 4 days ago and I've been using it every day since. I hate dirtying up the big blender just to make one small Protein Shake. The bullet is great because it comes w/a bunch of cups that fit right on top so you blend your drink right in the cup. And, they are a normal size so you don't feel tempted to make more than you really need. My kids are getting hooked on smoothies now too. They don't like my Protein ones, but low fat milk, fruit, and a little sweetener makes a great healthy yummy smoothie for them. Great great product! I highly recommend it!!!

      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.
