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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
