I bought my son a magic bullet a couple of months ago for college. He loves it and it's easy for him to keep clean. My husband recently bought me one and I see it is very easy to clean. I like it. I'm still working on the approval phase but thought I get a head start with the bullet and sometimes drink Protein Shakes as a Meal Replacement.< /p>

Never used a ninja. Two MB's though.. one at home, one at the office. Easy to clean.

I love the NInja, although it is not the easiest to clean, especially around the blades, and lid

I have an oyster single serve blender. I use it everyday. It worked really well in the beginning but after a few months of daily use, it doesn't work nearly as well. It is easy to clean though!

On a side note, I found that after my surgery, I didn't like the thicker shakes. Well, my sleeve didn't like them. During the pre-op diet, thick shakes were awesome. I ended up switching to using BlenderBall bottles to mix up my Syntrax Nectar shakes. The consistency is more like chocolate milk. (Or flavored milk, I don't always have chocolate.) Granted, this might be just a quirk with my sleeve. Obviously other people still like thick shakes. ;)

Do blenders make shakes have air bubbles?

Yep... that is what makes them thick - air bubbles.

I have two separate blenders that I use: Magic Bullet - easy to clean, good to mix Protein powder and liquid, but just okay; and the blender that Montel Williams promotes, The Montel is larger and is just as difficult to clean as any regular blender. The upside to the Montel is that you can make Soups, etc. with it. When I make a Protein shake, I can add spinach and carrots or any veg to my shake with a bit of fruit, much more nutritional. Liquifies just about anything.

I too loved my bullet for Pre-op shakes with ice and frozen fruits, etc. Didn't use at all on liquids stages 1 or 2-used a shaker cup with blender ball. Now on puree, the tiny amount of food I'm pureeing gets stuck in the blades of my Bullet. I think I'ld like the Ninja-the new one out on commercials now has a drink cup, small and large bowls. It looks like it does everything that my 12 other alliances do. (Christmas gift hint!)

I have a Ninja Pulse. It came with a large upright pitcher & 3 "bullet" style single cups. I LOVE IT. Soooo easy to clean & nothing sticks to the inside of the cups, even if I forget to rinse them out before they hit the sink. I use the single cups way more than the pitcher. It turns ice to snow. Great product.

On another note, a standard blender blade component will fit on a mason jar. Unscrew the blades, fill the jar with your ingredients & leave about 1-2" of room at the top. Screw the blades on the jar, flip 'er over & put it on the blender & go to town like normal. Voila! Single serve, easy to clean... :}

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
