everything! I use it for Protein Shakes, as soon as I get to puree'd food I will use it for that.

I have had it for a few years and it is great for salsa, guacamole etc... You will love it!

I just bought a small blender...it was a 1/4 of the price and will do the same thing as a magic bullet.......for several weeks after your surgery you will be on liguids and soft food.....blending it down will enable you to eat some different food...I heard of one guy who put his greek salad in the blender..he said it looked bad..but it tasted really good......he was really wanting a salad I guess...good idea I thought! :D

I bought an off brand at Target for my daughter. She loves it and makes smoothies a lot in it. It was used by her and all of her college roommates :) She said it works just as well as the magic bullet for a fraction of the price.

my grandma gave me one. lol i love it :)

i mix spices for my curries & stuff, grind coffee for my dad, make homemade whipped cream, make smoothies, beat eggs (not often, but sometimes), if i need a small amount of something, like an onion, to be blended for a recipe, then i use it for that.. beats cleaning the food processor or a whole blender just for that.. make my avocado chocolate pudding with it.. mix it up & eat it from the same container,. and can save the rest of it for later.. lol less dishes! it does great on bean dips, like hummus.. etc it's also really good for pain in the butt jobs like mixing corn starch with Water... xD

I love your ideas! Mind sharing your avocado pudding recipe? Im still Pre op but I use my bullet to make all my Protein shakes. Costo sometimes has it cheaper than anyone else. How is it for puraying foods post op? I have a juicer too that I'm hoping to "dust off"!

Off topic: I love your papillon!!! I hope it is one and I'm not offending you. I had one that looked just like it when I was very little. She was very dear.

I picked up a Bella bullet~type blender at Target for about $17 (on clearance) in purple. So far I'm using it to blend ice into my pre-op diet. We also picked up an immersion blender for post-op for larger quantities.

I LOVE my immersion blender. I am a lazy cook and i don't like to make a mess. (I really should get help for this issue!) anyway, i use the blender all the time bcs i can mix in the container i'm using. And it blends so smoothly.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
