OK....

I just made a shake with vanilla whey protien, skim milk, a banana, and crushed ice in the blender.

YUM!!!

Oh and also.....

Baby Bel light cheese!

YUM!!!

Not sure if this is where I should post this question or not but here it goes I was wondering what type of food processer to buy that will chop meat into mush? Also, are there any other suggestions on what equipment I may need post-op?

Hi Shyone- I keep hearing everybody talk about the Magic Bullet Blender.

In terms of what to get that you will need post op.....

I have been wishing that I would have gotten smaller plates and silverware.

I saw a girl on You tube that showed the smalle plate collection that she bought and a set of silverware that she bought at world market. I think I will go and buy some tonight.

She said they were called "cocktail" silverware.

I also got the smart Water with electrolytes and the pedi sure ice pops with electrolytes.

ummmmm t

oh!! not sure if you like Peach or not but the Celestial Season Peach tea is out of this world mixed with vanilla whey protien.....

Hey Mini-Me,

Before you get rid of all that Protein powder, you might want to try out Eggface's site and try to use them in recipes like she does. Heck, she uses them to make protein ice cream, cakes, Cookies, all sorts of things.

If you like to cook you might get some real innovative ideas to use up your investment! Also, I stored mine in the fridge, not sure it made a difference in keeping it fresh but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Thanks ... heading out there to look now.

Yes Ishary, I keep hearing about the Magic Bullet too, so I went to the mall and found out it is 50 some dollars was wondering if it was worth the investment or if it would be just a disappointment. I probably should buy some smaller plates and silverware too. Being pre-op I am still having trouble making a meal last 30 minutes. Any suggestions?

I went to an antique store and bought various china butter plates and finger tip bowls to use for meals. It makes my meals feel a little more "special" than just an everyday plate. I also picked up cocktail spoons and forks at World Market. They are great for helping you slow down and eat.

yep I dont think I would spend the $50 but I am a cheapskate.

I am by nature a really fast eater too.

I had big big problems when I first got the lap band as I would gulp my food down.

I dont really have any suggestions other than maybe take a bite or two and read something then take another bite or two???

Once you get sleeved you will eat slow- you have to.

At least I do.

I am excited for you shyone!!

Please keep me in the loop with your surgery!!!

Big Hug!

This is a GREAT idea!!!

about the antique store and china butter plates!!

I am going to head over to world market tonight.

Almost went last night but too tired.

I think I will go on the way home from work.

Are they pricey?

Thank you Ishary. I will be sure to keep you informed on how things are going!! I am sure that I will have more questions the further I get along in this process.

thanks for the great idea, sounds delicious!!! i'll be sure to try it.

There is a walmart brand of the magic bullet that is much cheaper. I use mine every day. They are great.

Not too bad ... they were about $1.75 each piece.

Shyone, I just use a teacup saucer for my plate and even that is too big at times! hehehe. . . as for a food processor, I have no idea, don't own one either. . I just use a blender, which works just as well. . . good luck

Thank you thinoneday. I am glad to hear that blender works just as well. By the way I love the name you picked it is great!!!! hopefully we are all thin one day after our weight loss journeys. Right now not so sure 2nd week on pre-op diet and I lost 2lbs the first week but now the scale keeps going back up and up. It is so depressing. I see the dietician again on MArch 5th. Hopefully by then I will loose something again.

Where is everyone finding light yogurt and fruit that have 5g or under of sugar? I went to Wal-mart but only found yogurt that had 12g of sugar. Any Advise?

Orgeondaisy is the Wal-mart brand of the magic bullet called a different name. I thought I would go today and look at them.

I am not sure because I got mine as a gift. I would look in the appliance section for any type of mini blender.

generally, the Greek yogurt is the only one that is low carb. If you get the plain, you can add sugar free syrup with zero carbs to make it tasty.
