I actually bought the magic bullet. Best investment for this so far.

I don't even have a surgery date yet, but I've already bought the Magic Bullet. It's sitting in the box, unopened, waiting for me. :wink:

I got the magic bullet. And I've got all sorts of blenders, food processors, etc.

But I find that this is a much more convenient blender.

I only use it right now to blend my Protein supplement, my shakes, and my Protein smoothies during my liquid pre-op phase.

But it's a snap to use and clean and, best of all, it takes up VERY little footprint on my kitchen counter!

I always wanted a magic bullet. Those infomercials late at night really get to you! haha, it just looks so cool and fun to use.

I might just get one and use the pre-op diet as an excuse, haha.

I'll be the first in this forum to say I went against the magic bullet. I did look at them but I just could not see myself needing 17 pieces, so I bought a cusinart immersion stick blender. 2 pieces and just like the bullet it's an easy clean makes great Protein Shakes and purees. Takes up no space and is very heavy duty.

But for what it's worth I also have issues with clutter but we'll save that for my therapist :biggrin:

Jujuvee! Too funny!

Um, the "parts" are in my cabinet, like the rest of my glasses and dishes, when I'm not using them!

But I also considered the type of blender you have.

The thing is, I had one of those years ago, (or something similar) but I never used it that often. Now it's lost among the doodads somewhere in either my kitchen or my daughter's kitchen.

Ah well.

I got my Magic Bullet at Bed, Bath & Beyond. When you use their ubiquitous 20% off coupon, that brought the price down:wink2: !

I got 30% off mine (discount for having a Kohl's Charge Card), then an additional 15% (employee discount, work there part-time).

So I did pretty good. I think it was supposed to come with the recipe book, but mine wasn't in there.

That's a bummer, Holli! There was a book in with mine. I haven't been to their website (if they even have one) but I wonder if maybe they have something online?

      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!!
