Vitamix

PS - this thread is going to cost me money. These things look great - but $700+ down here in Australia!

There are a couple other options.

One is the Blendtec, a little more expensive, smaller footprint on your countertop, and a little more powerful than the Vitamix, blendtec.com.

The other is the Nutribullet much smaller. I see infomercials on it all the time. Says it emulsifies but I don't have first hand experience with it. Have friends that have it and they love it, but they are not sleevers. nutribullet.com

I am anxiously awaiting the time when I can add blended vegetable drinks. I am only one week post op today so have another couple weeks to wait.

Shalom.

I watched a documentary on Netflix called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," where the guy goes on a 100% liquid diet for 30 days. I think he juiced everything. He gets into the cost at the end. Gets a little spendy...

Oh I'm going to save for one! Thank you, BB

It is expensive but our health is worth every penny. I self paid for this surgery so I will spend more to keep myself healthy. It's a must!

I didn't get a chance to read the entire thread...Judy, are you going to invest in one?

I'm mainly doing it now because of my recent health issues but this will help me so much.

Hugs to you all!!!! :)

I love my blendtec! I was able to get the designer series. I don't use it often though. Maybe I'll use it more post op.

If you would rather purchase the Vitamix on payments you can check qvc.com. Often they offer the VM for 4 to 5 monthly payments, You only need a credit card to purchase and they bill you for those months. That way you can purchase it interest free if you don't have the cash.

Judy, I am going to get one after the first of the year and start making green shakes every day. I need more veggies and that's the only way I'm going to take them in.

I received the Nutribullet for my birthday last Tuesday. I love it, I make green smoothies all the time,and they are great. I believe the Nutribullet is $100. It was a great gift and I have been blasting every day since, I am happy I am getting in my vegetable and other versions of Protein including, flaxseed, maca, goji berries, ground up almonds. I'm even more excited about the amount of Fiber.

I considered buying the vitamix, QVC and others raved about it, but for now my NutriBullet is kicking butt. Blasting kale, collard, berries, pears, bananas, apples, and grapes - did I mention it taste great. My kids 15 and 16 year old love my concoctions. :o

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
