My CRAZY Boyfriend's Idea For Jello!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so my boyfriend is one of those super tech savvy Mr. Fixit type of people and I had a problem that I went to him with. I wanted to mix powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury flavorless powder into my Jello without there being a weird cloud of powder because the texture makes me sick. So, this is the plan he has come up with:

Buy a large remote control car, make the jello in a soda bottle, put the remote control car upside down in the fridge, turn it on, and put the soda bottle horizonatally over the wheels so that it will constantly be moving while hardening and the powder won't settle in one spot.

He's crazy, but definitely loves me. I told him to have at it, just make me jello that I can eat.

I like it! How do you get the Jello out of the bottle?

I suppose that you could cut open the bottle and let the Jello ooze out into a bowl.

I got up at 3:00 A.M. and made the mistake of deciding to check this forum. Unfortunately, I saw this thread and true to my nature had to go on a solution hunt for the next hour. <_<

I tried automatic stirrers but the cheap ones were useless and the good ones were not battery driven. I looked at rock tumblers too, also not battery driven.

I liked your boyfriend's solution but had to see what else I could come up with.

Here: http://www.grabcart....rror-Ball-Motor

is a battery driven, rotating mirror ball motor which may be used to rotate anything you can hang under it. If your fridge is the type that uses grates just hang it in there attached to a tinkertoy or otherwise constructed shaft with paddles at the end which stirs the jello-powder mixture you have in a round pan.

When you don't need jello you can put a mirror ball up in the room and dance to BeeGee music. B)

Darn! I thought I could go back to bed and then I thought of this weasel ball toy I saw at Cracker Barrel.

The ball wil roll continually in the pan. Hopefully, it is waterproof or you could make it so.

Be sure to remove the weasel first. :D

We haven't tried yet...surgery is in 10 days for me so he's going to make it in about a week and see how it works. I'll take a picture and let you guys know!

That's hilarious, you are just like him! Okay, so his opinions on your ideas..

First off, we don't have any grates in the fridge, it's all glass so unless we could rig your ball a different way or put it in the freezer and just watch it really close to make sure it doesn't freeze (which is a possibility) that won't work.

The weasel may work, but what happens when the Jello gets too thick for the ball to move around? The powder may settle a little bit because the ball wouldn't be able to move around but it would still be better than without it because if it did settle it would to a much lesser extent of ickyness.

Ok, I told my wife about your boyfriends ideas and my ideas and she gave me that "men are such goofs" laugh. Then she reminded me that Protein powder coagulates in hot Water. She said that to make Jello you dissolve the Jello powder in hot Water and when it is totally dissolved you pour cold water in. You should dissolve the Protein Powder completely in the cold water before you pour it in with the hot water and jello concoction. It should be dispersed pretty well.

She also suggested just making the jello normally and mix the Protein Powder into sugar free Cool Whip to use as a topping.

I know nothing of these things. I just eat stuff. B)

      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!!
