I've got a Bullet now too! :banana Thanks to a very special lady who got me one as a gift, I've been having fun with it the last 2 days!

I used it last night to make my Protein drink, and then used it just a bit ago to make my tuna. I love it! And it cleans up so easily too! It just doesn't get any easier than this!

Woooohooooo!!!!!!

Basically, there's the regular one, without the blender and juicer regular price is around $69.00, but on sale at Wal-Mart and Walgreens sometimes for $59.99. The larger one with the pitcher and juicer is usually $99.00. Hope this helps.

I dont know how I would have made it without that Magic Bullet. I am using it for all of my meals so far. I am still on liquids but it does a good job of whipping up that cream Soup I had. Delicious.

Hi, I'm new here and was reading about the magic bullett. I have something that is so cheap and you most likely already have one. It's your blender! Find a pint size narrow mouth Mason jar. Take the blade portion off your blender and it should fit over the Mason jar opening. I put in my liquid, then ice and then protien powder give it a whiz and off we go. Cheap, easy clean up and if your a country girl like me you can just sip out of the jar. Since I do a lot of canning I have a lot of jars!

CAUTION!!! Before you go zipping it up on the blender, screw the blade on to the jar and manually see if the blade will turn without smacking the inside of the jar. It's never happened to me but sure as I tell someone about this they'll have Mason jar all over the kitchen!

Good luck

EXTREMELY CLEVER!!! I will try this out one day. Just wondering why a regular blender isn't functional enough & why everyone wants this "bullet"? Is it just the clean up?

The clean up and the tiny space it takes on the counter. I keep mine next to the coffee pot in the appliance cabinet, it takes up about a 4x4 inch area and there are no buttons to clean or wipe off, actually the base doesn't require cleaning unless you don't get the top screwed on good. Personally, the more basic and the smaller it is, (I try to avoid clutter), the better I like it. BUT!!! if you have a blender and prefer to use it, I love the idea of the Mason jar, what a smart idea.

Okay, I had the magic bullet for one month post surgery. Although I thought it was fantastic when I got it, I really didn't use it all that much. I have returned my bullet and am just using my blender I already have, a handheld whipper ($10), and a smoothie machine (Kohl's $14.99) instead. Just my opinion, but it just wasn't worth the $60. If it had been $20 I would have kept it.

Plus, cleaning it was a pain as I couldn't get my fat hand in the cup to clean it and the edges of the blender cup were sharp once you are doing dishes and your hands are soft. And the food sometimes sticks to the blades underneath and is hard to clean.

I thought it was great for making single serve Protein smoothies but I just couldn't justify the $60 it cost.

Sooooo, my opinion is now this: The bullet was okay during the first month of post surgery but not really worth keeping after unless you are big into making other things such as homemade salsa.

If you spend .50 for a small mouth pint mason jar you can chuck it all but the blender base. Promise it really works better than anything I've ever used. Make your shake, drink it out of the jar if you want. When your finished fill it about one third full of warm Water and put it back on the base for a quick whiz and it's clean!! If you don't finish all the drink get a ring and seal for the jar and put it in the fridge for later.

Because of the small capasity you can put ice chips in it and your drink becomes a milk shake. Try it out, all you have to loose is a fifty cent jar.

I just used my bullet to chop up some fresh parsley today, and will use it to chop up my fresh chives tomorrow. I love how quickly it chops up my fresh herbs for cooking, and am loving it for my Protein Shakes too!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
