I actually bought the magic bullet. Best investment for this so far.

I don't even have a surgery date yet, but I've already bought the Magic Bullet. It's sitting in the box, unopened, waiting for me. :wink:

I got the magic bullet. And I've got all sorts of blenders, food processors, etc.

But I find that this is a much more convenient blender.

I only use it right now to blend my Protein supplement, my shakes, and my Protein smoothies during my liquid pre-op phase.

But it's a snap to use and clean and, best of all, it takes up VERY little footprint on my kitchen counter!

I always wanted a magic bullet. Those infomercials late at night really get to you! haha, it just looks so cool and fun to use.

I might just get one and use the pre-op diet as an excuse, haha.

I'll be the first in this forum to say I went against the magic bullet. I did look at them but I just could not see myself needing 17 pieces, so I bought a cusinart immersion stick blender. 2 pieces and just like the bullet it's an easy clean makes great Protein Shakes and purees. Takes up no space and is very heavy duty.

But for what it's worth I also have issues with clutter but we'll save that for my therapist :biggrin:

Jujuvee! Too funny!

Um, the "parts" are in my cabinet, like the rest of my glasses and dishes, when I'm not using them!

But I also considered the type of blender you have.

The thing is, I had one of those years ago, (or something similar) but I never used it that often. Now it's lost among the doodads somewhere in either my kitchen or my daughter's kitchen.

Ah well.

I got my Magic Bullet at Bed, Bath & Beyond. When you use their ubiquitous 20% off coupon, that brought the price down:wink2: !

I got 30% off mine (discount for having a Kohl's Charge Card), then an additional 15% (employee discount, work there part-time).

So I did pretty good. I think it was supposed to come with the recipe book, but mine wasn't in there.

That's a bummer, Holli! There was a book in with mine. I haven't been to their website (if they even have one) but I wonder if maybe they have something online?

      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.
