Are the blender bottles worth it for Protein Shakes? I'm having my surgery on November 15th and I'm wondering if this would be worth it to buy.

I bought one for $20. Haven't used it for the shakes but it's coming in handy for weeks 2-3 for full liquids (I'm blending soups).

I have 4 of them and still use them! Totally worth it.

I bought two of them, one for home and then one for work. They work really well for getting the chunks out of Protein powder shakes, especially the thicker, stickier powders like casein.

Just ordered mine on Amazon thanks everyone! Now onto the task of finding a Protein Shake I can tolerate that is not extremely expensive.

You bet they are! I have 2 of them. One trick I use for cleaning them is to fill it 1/2 way with Water and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds( good upper body workout too, kind of like the shake weight). Then I open top, dump and refill with Water letting it overflow for a few seconds. After dumping out the water, the blender cup is about 95% clean. At the end of the day, I end up putting them into the dishwasher to get them 100% clean.

Does anyone use a juicer? Wondering if I should get that too.

A juicer would be good if you literally want to dice, slice and juice up raw fruit and veggies. However, not necessary if you are mixing up Protein shakes, super/ green powder or some kind of powder that has been prepared commercially. A blender cup will suffice to mix it up and cheap.

A juicer literally just gets juice out of fruits or vegetable. I have a Ninja blender for chopping stuff up and it's great!

My mom gave me her Ninja. So you put your veggies in it? How does it taste? Any good recipes? I am on full liquids right now, so I am not sure if I am allowed to have that, but maybe when I move to soft food.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
