Hi Everyone. I know that I will need to drink liquids and mushies several times after getting lapband and was wondering you who have had surgery reccomend that a bander should have one in the home or is there is a particular one that worked well for you. Im scheduled for surgery July 30th and just preparing. Thanks.

Hi, I have both of those and I hardly use them. What I do use, several times a day is my magic bullet. You can get one at Costco. They are small, perfect for making smooth protein shakes and when I travel, so easy to pack and take with me. Easy clean up to, I just rinse the blender part off and wash the cups in the dishwasher. I'm being banded next week so have been on the protein shake pre op diet. Good luck.

I agree that the Magic Bullet is the way to go. I have one at home and at my office and it saves so much work at cleaning time. A quick rinse and you are done. Plus it does a fine job of making the shakes and making mushies for those times.

I personally think that juicers are a waste of money.

The blender does the same thing and you can pour that through a strainer.

I used my food processor to mushify things.

I have a vitamix blender and love it.

I have both and hardly use them... Blender gets more use than the juicer by far. What I have used the most is a mini food processor. Very easy to clean and store and cheap!

I have them all. Only thing I use in my mini food processor and I bought a cheap 12 or 14 oz blender type thing for my shakes. It comes with 2 lids. One to blend then you replace that with a lid you can dring from. Great when I am running late, I can have breakfast in the car. It works great, even chops Ice. I got it at Kmart.

Thanks everyone...I think I will keep my blender and maybe get a magic bullet!

I use the Magic Bullet. It is by far is the best for the money and cleaning.

FYI - Magic Bullet is on sale at Kohls for $39.99 right now. The Rocket (kind of a knock off) is $19.99 at Kohls. Just so you know.
