I'm a fair few months away from getting my sleeve (October 2015) and was thinking of possibly getting a nutribullet for the post op fluid phase, that way I can have vegetables and raw nuts for protein but in complete fluid form and was just wondering did anybody else use this for that phase?

I have a Ninja (same idea). I used it a ton during recovery to puree Soups. I still use it for shakes.

go for it the nutri bullet is awesome. you will use it but,,,,,,my advice look around there are many brands out there that are cheaper priced and do the same thing.

personally I bought the nutria ninja the blades are better ( the nutria bullet has a problem with blades chipping and leaving metal in your drink.) One thing is you mentioned using raw nuts for Protein after surgery?? Maybe you should ask your nutritionist, since nuts, ground up are not liquid, they are still solid food and will tear up your sleeve and digestive tract . By the way Vegetable protein is normally very high in non-soluble Fiber which may cause you problems as well. There is a reason why nutritionists have you use whey Isolate and not hemp or soy protein, they do not digest well in the short time they are in your sleeve.

Thanks for your post, like I said I'm still quite away from surgery and am needing a lot of advice, yours made a lot of sense to me with points that I will bring up to the nutritionist

at one of the meetings I attended the nurse said you can't have raw veggies or fruit for awhile even if there liquified
