Hi all-

Looking for some suggestions for a blender. I really do not have any experience with a blender so this will be very new to me. I'm having my surgery on 4/29 so I'm trying to do some research and get prepared!

Any suggestions that you have will be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, the one I got from costco has 3 different blades, 2 large cups, 2 med and 2 small and a blender pitcher. It was $50. The best part is I use it for many other things than just Protein Drinks.

I grind my coffee, make smoothies, salsa. And, it's compact and fits great o. The counter.

I have 2 Hamilton Beach small blenders. They double as your drinking cup. They are around $15-$20. at Walmart, Target etc. I fit into it 8oz of milk, 2 scoops of Protein Powder and the rest are tiny ice cubes and I make a very thick shake. I have been drinking these for 1 year but my band was July. Good luck with your choices.

Nutri bullet...almost like magic bullet but has bigger motor and can break down anything you put in it. I make green smoothies that taste amazing. 2 handfuls of baby spinach, frozen mangoes,water, Protein powder, some berries, ..very good. U can add seeds nuts etc.

well.... I have a vita mix. It is the King daddy of all blenders and it costs as much. You can even blend veggies up and keep blending until they heat up for Soup. They sell it at costco and online. I have heard the bullet is a good choice. You can put in peanuts nothing else and it makes the most amazing Peanut Butter or any other nuts.

Sorry just reread my post the Peanut Butter was for the vita mix. It can pulverize anything.

      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!!
