I'm slowly preparing (no official surgery date) and I can't decide which blender to get. I'm leaning towards the nutribullet because it makes small quantities. Any suggestions?!?!?

I used an immersion blender to make protein shakes because it doesn't put any air into the shake -- no foam or bubbles. You can use it to make as much or as little as you want.

I use a Blender Bottle. Quick, no foam, can travel - no electricity needed. Works great.

I went to target and got a small one similar to the nutribullet. It was obviously a lot cheaper and I don't use it often. I use premiere protein because it has only 1 G sugar and 30 G protein in 11 oz. I love that I can just keep them in the fridge and grab and go.

I got the nutribullet 12- piece recently. It makes it a bit airy so I'm still trying to figure it out lol. I have been using my immersion blender for years though. I love it.

I got a NutriNinja and love it.

I got just a plain Bullet. About half the price of the Nutibullet, it works good when I want to add ice to my shakes (or fruit later). Otherwise I use a blender cup.

Same here.

They work great.

I have a Blender Bottle for when I'm traveling and the brand of blender I have at home is called Vitamix. It works great.

Great thanks. I'm going to get a Blender Bottle for on the go/work, but I want something bigger for at home. Something that will purée also. That's why I was looking at the nutribullet

I love my ninja.

I have a blender bottle and a Vitamix. The Vitamix is big, it does a good job but I would like something that make the small single serving drinks.

My daughter has a Bullet and she doesn't love it, not matter how hard she screws on the container it leaks (you know how you turn them upside down)

I have heard great things about the Ninja, I want a small one, I think.

I can see how the immersion blender would be good for making purees but I want to make my own smoothies with ice too. Whatever you get has to be powerful to crush ice.

Or do people just not do the ice or frozen fruit in a smoothie things after surgery?

I am trying to decide as well, I think it would be nice to have different things for different needs maybe???

I already had a vitamix that I LOVE. but it is more than you need for bariatric purposes - so if you don't need something that stout for other reasons I think the nutribullet is going to meet needs.

I want to buy a Vitamix but it's so prices here in England. I'm not good with bits. I can't even take orange juice bits so I want something that will really smooth out foods. I'm looking for recommendations.

@@laceemouse ice is a yes, and you definitely need something more than an immersion blender for that. Many plans will not allow fruit, especially in a smoothie, which is basically like injecting liquid sugar into your system.
