Hand washing would be good for one, but I've got four everyday to wash, sometimes more on top of the other dishes, so I shove everything in the dishwasher after loosening any crusty stuff on the lid by running a knife around the edge. Unfortunately, my silverware section is too narrow to fit the balls in and I don't have the other baskets since I'm the second owner of the dishwasher. They don't even have to get to the dishwasher though- 3 or 4 blender bottles taken apart in the sink dishwater, I've reached in to find 2 blender balls entwined like someone spent time twisting them together! When it happens a few times it's fine, but over the course of a year it gets soooo annoying. We'll have even more blender bottles soon with me having my surgery this June- my husband had his last July. Oh well, at least we know we're getting our Protein in! Thanks for the advice!

I put them in the dishwasher top rack and I stick them on the rack as in the put the rack peg through the whole in the blender ball they stay put and don't get caught. I had one get caught and then I started doing this.

I would make fiddleman wash his own balls..

LOL - I know, right!? Ah well, after surgery he'll get to do everything for a while, so that thought brings me joy. ;)

Thanks for this idea- I will look for one. No babies for me yet so don't have any on hand. Actually, that's one of the reasons for me having surgery- 3 years of trying and no babies and after researching options I realised that I was too heavy for most IVF and adoption foundations to approve me!

I still use the basket that my sons bottle nipples went in. He still uses sippy cups so I still use it for those too but I throw the blender ball in there too. If you are really frustrated, I would say go check it out in the baby isle as I'm sure it's not more than 10 or 15 dollars.

      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!!
