I like my ninja.

I have just a normal blender and a small cuiseart (sp?) admittedly I have not broken them out for food yet - I am still on liquids. But the one thing that I wish I had looked for earlier was liquid Tylenol for adults. I can't find it anywhere and it is backordered at Amazon. I wish I had looked for that. Good luck!

After looking all over for liquid Tylenol I finally asked a pharmacist about it.  He said Tylenol pulled all of the adult liquid off the market due to some kind of problem with the manufacturing or storage process.  I ended up buying the Junior meltaways and they worked fine.  I had to use 4 to make a full dose.  I only needed them for a few days anyway so it was no problem at all.  

Thanks for the info. I will see if I can find the melt aways.

I have a Magic Bullet. Careful on stocking up, your tastes may change.

Don't buy much stuff, as the above poster said.  Your tastes may change dramatically.  And I bought a Magic Bullet and used it some, but I prefered the ready to drink shakes -- Slimfast Low Carb, EAS, and Atkins.  I got sick to death of mixing that darn powder ... but that's just me; I'm lazy in the kitchen. 

I'd suggest getting a box or two of good quality, organic chicken broth for the clear liquids phase.  Canned broth is foul.  The broth was a nice change from all the sweet stuff.

Best wishes!

I purchases $100 in unjury 'and here I am 10 days post op and I hate the crap. So just get sample packs for now trust me it hurts to see all that protein sitting there on the counter.

It was suggested to me gasx strips but my dr wouldn't let me use them in the hospital, and I havnt even opened the box.

Chapstick immediatly post op was my friend since I had to wait 24 hours for my leak test. And couldn't have anything by mouth till I was cleared for no leaks

And a book, magazine, iPad or nook for when you arent walking the halls.

Oh a food scale! I get mine for Christmas since I'll start solids right after. Target had a nice one for around $30
