Most used kitchen appliance



Recommended Posts

So I'm 2 weeks post op and starting to think long term as far as cooking goes. Anybody have a favorite kitchen appliance that helps them make super yummy healthy dishes? I was looking into getting a food processor and a bullet. What are your favorites?

I love my Ninja with the travel cups. I also am starting to think I will need a toaster oven soon. My meals I make are very small, so it makes sense to use one instead of firing up the big oven.

I am about to order a Nu Wave oven... Have read great reviews on it. I am literally always on the go and you can take something from the freezer, put it on their, and in less than half the time of using the oven it is cooked.

I love my Vitamix. I add unflavored Protein Powder to all the Soups and smoothies that I make. I've had one for several years, just never used it much. Now it sits on my counter and I use it several times a week. Tonight is Vitamix tortilla Soup night. Yummm.

I could not be without my steamer. I often have food leftover or will cook enough for another day and the steamer keeps my food, especially meats, from being dried out when I reheat it. I would recommend one to anyone. I use it whenever I warm something in the microwave. This one is small/mini but it's just big enough for me. I have a larger one as well but I always reach for this one because of the size.

For the first month or so, my Ninja was my best friend. Now that I'm a little further out, my kitchen scale is something I use every day. Also some good 4oz (or so) freezer to microwave containers. Makes portioning out food very easy. When I cook, usually on the weekends I wrap everything for me in single serve portions. Some I freeze some just refrigerate for immediate use. Makes eating during the week much easier.

Good luck!

I love my George Foreman grill.

My 5 main appliances:

George Foreman grill

2 food processors - (1) full size, (1) 2 cup - both from Wal-Mart

Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Does double duty as a skillet too, I usually saute my shredded chicken in it with taco sauce.

shaker bottle from Wal-Mart - good for shakes and for mixing Taco mix with Water.< /p>

My vitamix was just delivered today, It's going to get a workout this weekend. :)

The microwave is the most important thing in my kitchen. The food processor and blender when I was in the liquid and puree stage.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
