Magic Bullet- best invention ever!!!



Recommended Posts

A very good friend of mine who had the lap band many years ago gave me some advice and said to me- You have to buy a Magic Bullet (blender) for after your surgery- It is the best thing ever and I use it every day-

Well I bought it before my surgery and used it for the 1st time yesterday to make a "smoothie" and let me tell you- I used it again this am and cannot imagine not having it now-

It literally took 3 minutes to make this- 1/2 banana, 1/2 boost vanilla drink ice and a few strawberries for sweetness... TO DIE FOR!!!!!!

They also have a recipe book for various things from appetizers to creating meals in literally minutes- The infomercial is quite hilarious but seriously a must have for any lap bander- plus the cup it uses is exactly the amount for us to use to drink- 4-6 oz......

The website to buy is The Magic Bullet Blender - Official Website

When I bought mine it was buy 1 get one so we are selling the other one on ebay soon- a steal of a deal for $100 bucks.:thumbdown:

i am soooo with u on that. the magic bullet rocks. i cant imagine getting out a blender every time i need to mush something. its quick, easy to clean and it the best invention EVER for banded people (or any bariatric surgery). I got it for x-mas in anticipation of my banding.( which was march 20th) wooo hoooo!!!!

How weird....I actually went and bought one of these at Wal-Mart last night because today is my first "puree" day. I was a bit surprised at the price, which was $54.97, but for as much as I think I'll probably use it...it was well worth it.

I just used it for the first time...and I can already tell it's going to be my favorite thing ever.

I put in a can of Albacore tuna, some light Miracle Whip and Newman's Light Honey Mustard dressing and mixed it up.

Awesome.

I can't wait to throw some chili in there.

I love my magic bullet a lot ! I was really excited when I read the booklet that mentioned making fresh salsas and things with it. So I tried to make some with peppers and onions and let me tell ya....either it doesn't chop them, or it chops them to goo. Try as I might, I couldn't get small (or even semi-large) chunks.

If anyone else knows a secret, please fill me in ! I'm the queen of shakes, but no such luck with other things that I don't want to be goo.

if you just tap tap it, u are more able to control the chop size. I hope this helps! good luck!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
