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?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
