I'm curious to know what everyone has done to prepare for after the surgery. I think I'm a bit of an over-planner & want to get everyone else's ideas too. So far I have the following:

• All of my necessary Vitamins
• A set of Bariatric Utensils (from hubby for Xmas)
• A set of Appetizer forks & spoons for smaller bite sizes (Adorable!)
• Protein powders (Inspire- Whey protein, Variety flavors) & PB2
• Light Muscle Milk and Premium Protein ready drinks
• Large Water Bottles (not new, but hold 24 oz)
• Broths

Here is my wish list of other things:

• A fine mesh strainer
• nonfat milk dry powder (to add to some of my drinks for additional protein)
• cute 4 oz glasses, (plastic or glass) to help get some liquid meals down & 1 oz cups (like medicine ones) to measure intake.

What have you done to prepare for your new life???

what was wrong with the Genepro?

The only thing I would add are those popsicle bags to make your own freezies (Amazon has 200 for like $9). I made mine with scoops of unflavored protein mixed in with protein water and added mio for extra kick of flavor

I do this with my jello too . I bought those plastic 2oz food packaging cups off of amazon. Been using those a lot

That is a *fantastic* idea for the protein pops. Does the powder make them thicker or are they just like regular popsicles?

In addition to what you posted I have:

• a set of 100 2oz containers with lids.
• I made a bunch of SF Jello w/ unflavored protein powder and SF Pudding and pre-portioned them so they are quick for the first few days.
• I also have a bunch of Premier Protein shakes in a variety of flavors
• I have a bunch of Nectar protein in fruit flavors.
• I made a froze a couple batches of pureed soups and have a cup of each thawing in the freezer.
• I bought Gas-X and stool softeners (my surgeon recommended I start the stool softners this weekend (Tue surgery) so I did.

My fridge and cupboard are both stocked and ready to go when I get back from the hospital.

Incredible ideas everyone! Also added to my list:

Congratulations on everything. On a side note, your bathroom has the best lights...you are going to have great selfie updates, lol. Do great today [emoji16].

When I was building our home I went out with can recessed lighting and very glad we did! Good lighting threw out the whole house on dimmers. [emoji106]

OMG what a beautiful pup!!

Has anyone ever tried the Bulk Supplements protein powder?? Trying to decide which one to go with. There's so many choices! ARGH

Right now I’m getting the list of meds and vitamins that my team wants me to have on hand. I don’t have a surgery date yet, so I’m not in a rush. I am “auditioning” clear protein drinks so that I can make sure my fridge is stocked with things I will drink.
