magic bullet



Recommended Posts

Do you have one and are they really worth the money? I just bought one on sale at Khol's for 40.00. Now I just have to convince my husband that I REALLY need it!

I have a couple of them, and I really like them.

I like them better than a blender, just for the cleaning efficiency. With a blender, you blend up what you want, then move it to cup, then drink it. With the Bullet, you are Blending IN the cup. You only have to clean ONE piece. A small difference, but I saw that it made made an impact.

BUT....and please REMEMBER this: When using the Magic Bullet, when you press down to make it blend, ONLY press in SHORT BURSTS.....do NOT hold it down where the motor is running for longer than a few seconds at a time. What they DON"t tell you is that if you do hold it down for extended periods, the motor will burn out VERY FAST. That happened to me TWICE, until I found someone online that explained this fact to me.

SHORT BURSTS.....that's all you need! Do that, and you'll love the Magic Bullet!:rolleyes2:

Thanks for the info. Don't want to be breaking it the first time I use it. If you put fruit in it, is that considered a liquid and suitable for post surgery?

      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.
