protein powders

I want to stock up on a few necessities prior to my surgery.  Can  anyone that's been through a vsg give me some advice on what to stock up on and where to get it please.  I would be very grateful. 

I already have a mug warmer and a stash of vitamins from a friend! I am just in ready mode!!! And also has any used or know where to get the unjury clear protein and the soup base?

Did you get your surgery date, Kim?

the one i wish i would have known before surgery is Unjury.  that is the only thing i can drink to this day.  not at all chalky like most other protein shakes.  i mainly order the chocolate splendar, i now use it only in my coffee, but to drink by itself is by far the best investment I've done. i used to buy the unflavored also, but depends what you want to use it for, that is good if you want to put in food so it's tasteless, however for me the only i found i could mix in food is when i do smoothies.

no matter how many container you order, it's a flat fee of $18 for shipping. however because it's coming from the states, you might get hit with duty fees. it's random, some i was never charged and other time i was. i just paid it, then complained to them and they always reimbursed me the amts paid as they keep saying they are working with canadian borders to open something on the canada side so it won't affect canadians as much.

Nope no surgery date yet...they told me any day to get my call to go sign papers so I am anxiously waiting for it to happen.

I have also looked into the unjury stuff too but it looks kind of expensive

I'd suggest Senokot (pink bottle with stool softener). I was always 'regular' but not after surgery.  I haven't been regular since but recently started taking probiotic supplements and that's helping a lot. 

Don't be surprised if your taste changes. Soups that I liked before, I thought were disgusting after. I was sick of water during liquid and puréed stage and wanted low fat chocolate milk but hated every brand I tried.

You're so close now! It would make a great birthday present for you :)

I don't find it more expensive than any other good quality protein. in the end, for me i rather pay a little more if needed if it means i am able to drink it without feeling the need to puke and get an after taste :) 

You are all Right....and thanks Cindy it would be a awesome birthday gift....which that is coming up the big 50 this year lol....have no idea how I am going to celebrate...getting the call would be wonderful though...  And better life your are so right too...better to get something good....shopping here I come lol   Thanks everyone
