Lately, I've been seeing this on infomercials. The concept is a great idea for those with the Lap Band.

Here's a link to QVC: Xpress Redi-Set-Go Cooker w/4 Removable CookingPans - QVC.com

I was looking at the reviews and most of them say it sucks. There was one great review from someone who had the Lap Band. QVC's price is way cheaper than the infomercials. I just wonder if this is ok to try. I need to start making healthier meals, and this seems PERFECT. But is it really?

Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?

Also, if anyone has the George Foreman Grill, please comment on that also! I think I'm leaning towards the George Foreman, but I would like to know your experiences! :thumbup:

I have a george foreman grill and hate cleaning it. I would rather use my Iron skillet that has slats on it like a grill or I just use my grill outside to be honest.

We love our Foreman grill, but they can be a pain to clean. I'm on my second one and this one has removeable plates. You just take them off and put them in the dishwasher. This model was a little more expensive, but so much better than the old style.

My husband bought 4. He thought that when they asked how many, and he said 2, he would get 2. But, it was buy 1, get the 2nd one, so we now have 4. Christmas presents, I guess. Have not tried it yet. I haven't seen the commercial.:thumbup:

I don't know about the Ready-Set-Go, but I agree it looks cool. However, for you George Foreman users, I get these sponges that make cleaning SO much easier. They about $5 for 3 but they last awhile depending on how often you use your grill.

My husband, finally, used his Xpress redi-go today. He used it for making meatballs. The meatballs cooked without frying, and were delish! They were just about the best I have ever had. :thumbup:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
