what needed post-op??

[bandongal 0]

I am getting banded in August--I hope:thumbup: and am trying to get what I may need in the future together. I have heard about needing food processor, digital scale, magic bullet, Protein Powder. Do you all "use" this stuff and is it needed short term or long term? Anything else you use? Also, what about those first few weeks on the liquid diet? ideas??

I bought bunches of Protein shakes and powder, only to find out my surgeon does not want me drinking calories.

You will most likely need some for the post-op diet, but check with your surgeon and/or nutritionist to see if you will be using them long-term. I ended up throwing a bunch of stuff out because I didn't use it.

Now I keep a few shakes around for after fills or bad stuck episodes.

Otherwise, everything I eat is solid.

Post op I used a lot of Protein powder/ shakes- but like previous poster I only use them now when I feel tight. I also used a mini food processor a lot during mushy phase and still do now from time to time. Other than that I use nothing that I didn't use preop.
