Patterba 6 Posted October 18, 2009 Hello Pre-Bandsters.. I was flipping through tv channels this morning and saw this thing on QVC, the Ninja blender.. It looks like it might be a lifesaver for the puree and soft food stages. Anyone else see this super chopper thing? I bought it and hope it gets here before band day..(10/29).. I can't believe it is getting closer.. Be well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susan0978 0 Posted October 18, 2009 I saw it this morning also...looked like it would do a good job. I have the Magic Bullet and it works good for me. I use it now mostly for Protein smoothies.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrgrtVntll 0 Posted October 18, 2009 Hello Pat, I was watching QVC also today and ordered the Ninja. I loved the two blades and how it shaves the ice. I am hoping this will help me with the liquid stages and mushie stage. Today is my first day of the 2-week preop diet stage. I have two bullets, one for home and one for work. I am determined to be successful and with the right tools I should be. Let me know how you like the Ninja. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patterba 6 Posted October 19, 2009 I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I am trying to psych myself up for this as it will be T-10 days till the band.. I know if I can get through the first few days I will be ok. Having lost and gained weight so many times and for so many different reasons, this is the first time I am doing this for reasons other than vanity.. My knees are killing me, and ANY relief I can get is a victory for me. If this NinjA thingy can make it that much easier to maintain the different phases, then I am willing to try it. Good luck to you.. let me know how you are managing the pre op.. Barbara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhyW8 0 Posted October 19, 2009 I ordered one today too. Looks like it'll be good for tuna/chicken salad, blending salsa and Soups, etc. Some stores have the Ninja but dont have the extra containers. I got the cook book too. Anxious to get it now! :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irishbookworm 0 Posted October 22, 2009 I had never heard of the Ninja Blender, but, I love my little, cheap Hamilton Beach single serving blender. I googled the Ninja Blender and now I want one! I found a decent review too, if anyone is interested..... food and Product Reviews - Ninja Master Prep - food Blog | Bite of the Best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
