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.< /p>

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..

Barbara

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:

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.....

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

I'm very happy with it!

      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.
