baby bullet or something like it?



Recommended Posts

You can get the nutribullet (like magic bullet but more powerful) from Bed bath and beyond for 99 bucks... but if you register your email, they'll give you a 20% off coupon so it will only be 80.00

I wouldn't buy one just to get through purees since it's such a short phase and you CAN do it all in your blender.. But I use mine every day to make smoothies, healthy salad dressings, chop garlic etc. It's a great machine to have if you think you'll use it... but not worth the money if you're only going to use it for you puree phase.

Hey, i was looking into the baby bullet too but then realized that what I really wanted was the $20- extras pack that had the silicone ice cube tray & the dial & date cute containers. You can buy it at Walmart instock or online.

I also saw 1/2C ziplock/ generic equivalent containers 6 for 2-3$

In the plastic ware / ziplock section of my local walmart they have 2ounce little cups 60 count with lids for $4. But, they're not microwavable. They melt.

The nicer find a lid ones were 6-7$ for same size.

I think I'll blend & freeze some wendy's chili bc I know I'll like that & make some of that ricotta bake I saw on here to freeze ahead. The little cups will also help with the Jello portioning.

I also considered buying a sleeve of restaurant sauce cups & lids. Like the chipotle ones are exactly 4 ounces & I've 1&2 ounce ones too. I'm not sure what I'd do with sooo many cups though.

We had about a dozen or so 2 ounce babyfoods expire at the store.. I emptied them and washed them out and have been using the jars.. PERFECT for my little 1/4 cup of puree... I eat about a half cup of food, but I like having the 1/4 up size jars since I like to do a variety.

Man. I'd almost sell mine to y'all. For me, I should have just stuck w my regular blender. I'm pretty sure ill never use the bullet again unfortunately.

I do NOT like shakes. I thought I'd love them since I've never been a picky Water in my life but the sleeve has changed that. The purée stage went so fast and I only puréed food twice, the rest of the time I just chewed really well.

I have a bullet and a blender and I preferred to use my blender. The main reason is I too bought the 1/2 cup glad containers. I made all my meals for the entire week at once because that's my way of keeping the good stuff regularity a ail able. Otherwise if I just made one meal at a time I tended to make less healthier choices. That's just me though but it does work really well :) good luck!

I have the Smarter Image version of the Magic Bullet, and I actually do use it quite a bit for my morning shakes. Right now, pre-diet, I often whiz in a few frozen cherries or blueberries, sometimes half a banana and PB2. If I use frozen fruit, it becomes very much like a milkshake.

That said, I have a blender, an immersion blender with a little mini processor attachment, and so on. I don't know that I would have run out to buy one of these just for the pureed stage. I got mine for $20 a while ago when I was still working so I could do Protein shakes at work if I couldn't get out for lunch (happened quite often for a while!).

      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!!
