Hi everyone! Getting sleeved 8/8 and just wanted to know what products ya'll recommend from Amazon after surgery. I found the Bariatric Advantage line of products, I hope this is a good line.

Pre-op I would have given you a long list. Now as a post-op that had my tastebuds do a 180, I would say, just worry about your Vitamins. Leave the Protein and anything else you may need to return, to your local store.

Also, beware, Vitamins I liked pre-op, I could not stomach post-op. So if you do buy vitamins, opt for just 1 container as opposed to subscribing to save more. I so wasted money on that.

I buy my Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder from Amazon (I have Amazon Prime, free shipping). I got my last shipment in less than 36 hrs! Awaiting a shipment right now, as a matter of fact. Whenever I need anything, I check Amazon first, cuz of the free shipping.

My parents gave me a sizeable gift certificate for Amazon pre-surgery to help me get the things I needed. Looking back at my order history I got:

  • Cuisinart mini food processor
  • KitchenAid immersion blender
  • Mini ice cube trays (for little ice cubes, best for mixing in shakes/smoothies)
  • Premier Protein chocolate drinks
  • Wellesse liquid Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, & Iron
  • Lots of Kindle books and instant movies/tv series to stream while home recovering
  • heating pad
  • chelated zinc supplement (to prevent Hair loss - chelated zinc is easier on the stomach than zinc glutonate)
  • 32 oz. Bubba Keg -- I fill it with Water and ice each day and sip, helps get in my fluids
  • Fusionbrands poach pods - for making perfect poached eggs
  • Omicron wrist blood pressure monitor - all patients on HBP meds are required by my doctor to monitor their blood pressure 2x/daily after discharge
  • Syntrax Matrix and Syntrax Nectar protein powders (Matrix = mint cookie YUM), nectar = Fuzzy Navel, Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Tea)
  • Food thermometer (to make sure Hot Drinks are the proper temp to stir in protein without curdling it)
  • Fuzzy anti-skid socks for use in walking slippery hospital hallways

All of the stuff I got was prime-eligible by the way. Quick delivery and no shipping costs!

Great list, the only thing I can add that you won't have to return would be mini muffin tins and mini bread loaf pans. This was a really great list!

Wow, thanks. I have a Prime membership as well. i'll put that on my list. I think buying Vitamins and special protein items can be more convenient through Amazon.

      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!
