Just thinking ahead, and wondering if I should look for something like the baby bullet since I will need soft/pureed food. I have a blender, but wonder if something smaller might be better. I will be with parents the week of op, but at home afterward and most likely at work. The easier and more prepared I am, the better I can do!

Any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks!

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.

Got me a baby bullet of ebay for next to nothing! It came in today and I can't wait to play with it. er...I mean, try it out. lol

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 was thinking about ordering just the accessory package of the little containers...they're so darned cute!

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!).
