I have been approved to have bypass done. I don't want to fail I work 9+ hours a day I am searching for a good travel blender and some other things I can't think of since my mind is going 90 to nothing.

Your suggestion are appreciated.

I had to do a lot of traveling within the first 30 days of my RNY. I did not use a blender but found that premade shakes actually work best for me. I would either pack them in my suitcase and check it at the airport or but them when I got to wherever I was going. I use premier Protein shakes which have 30 grams of protein and are low in carbs. chocolate tastes the best. I ended up having a lot of trouble with all the powders that you mix, they taste terrible and sat heavy.

The only thing I needed to do for travel was make sure I had a fridge in my room to keep them cold.

If you do choose to go with a powder, you can get those blender cups which have the silver mixer balls inside. They work fantastic. You can get them at GNC.

Good luck!

By the way, you can get premier protein shakes at SAMs or Costco.

Sugar free syrups add variety as well. I use the vanilla premier protein and add a teaspoon or two to it mix it and drink. You can also put liquid vitamins in it as well and syrup hides the taste. It tastes great. Stay away from the strawberry it sucks.

I also like the SmartShake bottle. It doesn't have a ball that bounces around so it's less noisy. I was able to find a teal and a black one at the Vitamin shop. There are other colors online. It has a mesh screen that attaches to the lid and helps break up the Protein in the drink. The screen blocks any chunks that do not break up. It also has a compartment for Vitamins as well as your Protein Powder. Both of these compartments screw onto the bottom of the cup.

Hope this helps.

Thank you all so much I have my surgery on the 30th of this month. Excited.

Best of luck to you on your surgery day!!
