I need to find a good blender that is small and is able to mix my Protein Shakes. Any suggestions? What kind do you use? I have the regular size blender but don't want to have to take it apart everytime I use it. Thanks!

Surgery in 4 days and a wake up.

I hate all blenders so I use a Blender cup that I got from GNC...It has a wire ball inside that blends my Protein Drinks up very well...

I have a Magic Bullet. I bought it a few weeks before my surgery 2 1/2 years ago and I still use it to this day.

I LOVE MY BLENDER BALL! Its a plastic shaker with a wire ball inside just like one of the other posters said. Cheap on Vitacost.com (buy the large size so it shakes well).

I use a cuisinart hand blender. Super easy to charge and I can put it in a drawer when I'm not using it.

Magic bullet is the best , takes up little counter space, has a large and small container to mix things and also different blades. Good luck!!!!!!1

I agree about the Bullet. But for Protein Shakes any container with something in it, even a mesh top, will mix your shakes quickly and effectively and can be cleaned with a quick rinse. GNC is likely your best source for one of those or Bariatric Advantage online has one (my dr office gives them out to each patient).

I need to invest in a hand blender. I guess they have rechargeable ones. I also hate the whole big blender. Too much space and a pain to wash.

I have a little blender from Walmart a Halmilton Beach that I got for $15. You can take it with you and it cleans easily...

I also have the personal Hamilton Beach Blender. The Mixing cup is also a travel mug. It works GREAT with ice cubes. I've had mine for a year now no problems. I like the fact the fact that I don't have to dirty a second cup. Again $15 at Walmart/Target. If I had been working out of the house I would have bought one for work. Great for the price!

      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!!
