Magic Bullet- best invention ever!!!



Recommended Posts

A very good friend of mine who had the lap band many years ago gave me some advice and said to me- You have to buy a Magic Bullet (blender) for after your surgery- It is the best thing ever and I use it every day-

Well I bought it before my surgery and used it for the 1st time yesterday to make a "smoothie" and let me tell you- I used it again this am and cannot imagine not having it now-

It literally took 3 minutes to make this- 1/2 banana, 1/2 boost vanilla drink ice and a few strawberries for sweetness... TO DIE FOR!!!!!!

They also have a recipe book for various things from appetizers to creating meals in literally minutes- The infomercial is quite hilarious but seriously a must have for any lap bander- plus the cup it uses is exactly the amount for us to use to drink- 4-6 oz......

The website to buy is The Magic Bullet Blender - Official Website

When I bought mine it was buy 1 get one so we are selling the other one on ebay soon- a steal of a deal for $100 bucks.:thumbdown:

i am soooo with u on that. the magic bullet rocks. i cant imagine getting out a blender every time i need to mush something. its quick, easy to clean and it the best invention EVER for banded people (or any bariatric surgery). I got it for x-mas in anticipation of my banding.( which was march 20th) wooo hoooo!!!!

How weird....I actually went and bought one of these at Wal-Mart last night because today is my first "puree" day. I was a bit surprised at the price, which was $54.97, but for as much as I think I'll probably use it...it was well worth it.

I just used it for the first time...and I can already tell it's going to be my favorite thing ever.

I put in a can of Albacore tuna, some light Miracle Whip and Newman's Light Honey Mustard dressing and mixed it up.

Awesome.

I can't wait to throw some chili in there.

I love my magic bullet a lot ! I was really excited when I read the booklet that mentioned making fresh salsas and things with it. So I tried to make some with peppers and onions and let me tell ya....either it doesn't chop them, or it chops them to goo. Try as I might, I couldn't get small (or even semi-large) chunks.

If anyone else knows a secret, please fill me in ! I'm the queen of shakes, but no such luck with other things that I don't want to be goo.

if you just tap tap it, u are more able to control the chop size. I hope this helps! good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
