Plastic condiment containers; I am on soft food and only allowed 1-2 ounces of food at a time

Do you mean those mustard and relish containers used by restaurants? I'm confused.

Digital scale!! Measuring food is so vital. I purchased 2 (one for home, one for work). Going to order another that will fit in my purse for when I am further out and going out to eat

I hadn't thought about a scale. Terrific idea.

Doing blended food I have found a small electric chopper works best. A blender is to big for the amount of food I can have.

Now that I’m post surgery and spent four days in the hospital. The one thing I discovered I cannot live without post surgery is a recliner.

Omg whatever you do get one before surgery.

We had to go buy one the night after I made it home. Unless you have one of those adjustable beds you can incline.

But you HAVE to have a recliner to recover and sleep

I invested in one of these after surgery:

I tried using a blender but it would not puree meats or anything else correctly. The Ninja is awesome!

Money was an issue for me as well I went to Walmart and bought a small food processor and it only cost about 15 dollars, and it worked just as good for me as the more expensive ninja machines

A belt and a decent manual espresso maker... I just realized these are my essentials 7 months post op, and writing it together makes me feel like McGuyver...

Get a small food processer from Walmart. They work great for purees and are super cheap. I found a digital food scale on Amazon, I think it was $8

They are 2oz clear containers with lids. I work in a concession stand during football season and we use them for jalapeños. They sell them by the paper plates. I use them for everything now.

I looked every where for the gas x strips. Walgreen's pharmacist said they no longer make them. If you can find them, then try them but I was told they don't help for this type of air After surgery. The gas pain was so bad after surgery that I had my daughter look for them everywhere!! In hopes they might work!!

Nope they don’t make them. I used the chewable and they didn’t work on the gas post op but they are amazing for the gas building up in my stomach after eating anything

I **LOVE** my Ninja BL682Z. I can freeze SF Jello in ice cubes and then turn them into snow cones with this thing... Like, legit, ice cubes to snow. It's loud, but it's powerful. I've used it 2-3 times a day since Surgery over 2 months ago and it's still just as good as day one.

how much was your Ninja? It it a blender or a food processor?
