Here's an entire thread about the Magic Bullet. Do a search, too. My sister had one in her pantry so I didn't need to buy one. I used it plenty the first few weeks, but have since put it away. My mouth and teeth are now my magic bullet! It's a good product, though, if you clean the blades just as soon as you are done blending. Otherwise, you get stuck goo underneath and it's hard to clean the undersides of the blades. Just don't let the food dry off before you clean that part.

I bought the Magic Bullet off Ebay, and I love it. Even though I'm almost 6 weeks post-op we still use it on a daily basis. It's so convenient to make single servings, and put a lid on it and go in the morning. Wouldn't trade it for anything!

Magic bullet is a small blender about the size of a large water glass. It comes with snap on cups, and lids, and you can blend, take it off the machine, turn cup bottom down, attach a ring and drink it right there. It is conveniet, and easy to clean, much better than hauling out the big blender. Got mine at Kohls on sale, love it.

I love my Magic Bullet too! I just made fruit & yogurt smoothies yesterday morning for my son and I with it.
I like that you can pulse it or all out blend with it. That way you can leave fruit chunkies, or blend it smooth.
Cheers!!!

I use my MB every day, great for frozen fruit drinks. Cleanup is a breeze.

Good for you, Tink! Don't worry about gaining. You body went into shock and said "WHAT? No Food?! You gotta be kidding!" and held on to it's weight. It will get the message and start letting it go. Take advantage of this liquid pre-op...jump start that weight loss! Hope you enjoy your Bullet (the blender thingy, not the thingy you shoot stuff with, LOL!)

Tink, I feel your pain(or I wish I did!) still waiting for my date. Just think, pretty soon weight will be rolling off of you! Every slurp of liquid is a sip in the battle!! Drink on, Brother!
