My local grocery store carries PB2 in the "health food" section.  I've been using it for a while now - my kids even like it!

CIB = Carnation INstant Breakfast

PB2 is Powdered Peanut Butter.  5 grams of protein per serving - great to mix in to shakes if you like peanut butter!

Congratulations!  Most of us have to do a 1-2 week pre-op liquid diet.  Did your surgeon/dietitian talk to you about that yet?  I have only lost 8 # over the last 6 months, but there is no way to NOT lose on 3 cans of Slim Fast and the rest clear liquids for 2 weeks!  Which surgery are you having?

This is what I have on lmy list so far to get me through my 2 weeks of liquids and the first couple of weeks post-op:

Unjury Vanilla
Unjury Chocolate
Unjury Chicken Soup
Unjury Recipes
PB2
Drink Shaker with Lid
Walmart Brand Slim-Fast
SF Jello
FF pudding (the SF gives me diarrhea )
Frozen berries and bananas
FF Yogurt

Everything else I already have/on hand, or can pick up easily at Walmart.  Thanks for mentioning the liquid Tylenol and Gas X - I would have forgotten those!  I still need a vitamin, too, but want to ask the dietitian about that when I see her on Monday.

I remember having a food grinder when my daugter was a baby - we took it to restaurants so that she could eat what we were having.  I may pick up one of those - it would be easy to make a small portion for myself and easy to clean, too!

I am scheduled for surgery and am excited but nervous, of course.  I haven"t been able to lose weight pre-op but gain.  Any suggestions?  Unfortunately, my health has made me resort to taking steroids for my asthma which has contributed to the weight gain.  It just gets me down.
