Hello Pre-Bandsters..

I was flipping through tv channels this morning and saw this thing on QVC, the Ninja blender.. It looks like it might be a lifesaver for the puree and soft food stages.

Anyone else see this super chopper thing?

I bought it and hope it gets here before band day..(10/29).. I can't believe it is getting closer..

Be well...

I saw it this morning also...looked like it would do a good job. I have the Magic Bullet and it works good for me. I use it now mostly for protein smoothies.

Hello Pat,

I was watching QVC also today and ordered the Ninja. I loved the two blades and how it shaves the ice. I am hoping this will help me with the liquid stages and mushie stage. Today is my first day of the 2-week preop diet stage. I have two bullets, one for home and one for work. I am determined to be successful and with the right tools I should be. Let me know how you like the Ninja.

I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I am trying to psych myself up for this as it will be T-10 days till the band.. I know if I can get through the first few days I will be ok.

Having lost and gained weight so many times and for so many different reasons, this is the first time I am doing this for reasons other than vanity.. My knees are killing me, and ANY relief I can get is a victory for me.

If this NinjA thingy can make it that much easier to maintain the different phases, then I am willing to try it.

Good luck to you.. let me know how you are managing the pre op..

I ordered one today too. Looks like it'll be good for tuna/chicken salad, blending salsa and soups, etc. Some stores have the Ninja but dont have the extra containers. I got the cook book too. Anxious to get it now! :confused:

They have it at Wallmart I don't remember how much it was but if you are in a hurry you can get it there....hope it helps:thumbup: congrats on your surgery date

I ordered it too. Hubby and I are both getting banded and I thought this would be great for us. I ordered the cookbook too.:thumbup:

I saw that too. It looked like it would work well.

I had never heard of the Ninja Blender, but, I love my little, cheap Hamilton Beach single serving blender. I googled the Ninja Blender and now I want one! I found a decent review too, if anyone is interested.....

I bought one too... will use it for the first time today and will report back :thumbup:

Any user reviews yet? Still waiting on mine due to a small snafu......

LOVE it! It blends anything down to liquid stage or mushies if needed!

I'm very happy with it!
