I don't have a surgery date yet but I do know there are about a million different protein shakes out there, you are going to have to try a few I guess to figure out which ones you like. I have a feeling I will like all of them, at least pre-op. I am the least picky person on the planet.

BUT, most people say their taste buds change after surgery. So don't buy too much now.

I just got a small Ninja blender from Kohl's and I love it, but you can also use those shaker bottles for most of the powdered shakes. The blender is good if you want to add ice or frozen fruit, etc.

Good luck to you!

Hi Camacho 933, I too start my diet on Tuesday and surgery date is on the 19!!! ???? I've tried and like the ready to drink premier Protein (all 5 flavors) and the muscle milk vanilla creme. So far I've noticed that the Premier Protein is the one with the highest amount of protein 30g.

Omg , are you nervous? We should keep in touch we are on exactly the same path it really helps knowing that someone is there, been there or will be there and that we can all relate

You will be fine. Just take one day, on hour, one minute at a time.

There are many threads on this site with recommendations for Protein supplements and other surgery supplies.

In my experience, it helps to start with samples of different supplements until you determine what you like post-op.

I like Premier Protein, GNC lean shake 25, Syntrax nectar, ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates (especially during the clear phase), ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil Soups, Mio drops/crystal light, Herb tea, etc.

Good measuring utensils, a food scale, and small food storage containers are also helpful.

For the hospital, I used lip balm, biotene spray, and a heating pad (for gas pain and because I was cold).

If you haven't already weaned yourself off of caffeine and carbonation, now is a good time because you really don't want to have to deal with caffeine withdrawals post-op.

I got a blender but barely use it. I use a shaker bottle more than a blender.

But YES, you and I can most def keep in touch!!! Looking forward to it

I start mine Tuesday (but it's the 4th) - do you start on Wed?

I have to drink Bariatric Fusion shakes but they're really good. I bought a few blender bottles. I made some sugar free jello and will pick up some clear liquids tomorrow. Hang in there!
