smmrsue 56 Posted March 5, 2012 Celeste- I have been making the Jay Robb shakes. Lots of recipes on the web. Also, if you buy the powder at Vitamin Shoppe you can return it for store credit if you don't like the taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeesDiary 13 Posted March 5, 2012 Day 3 of pre-op diet. Optifast 900 three times a day plus up to 2 cups of veggies for the whole day. I find it very interesting how pre-op diets vary so much. shakes were provided as part of payment. I was also wondering what a blender ball is all about. Wow that is a strict pre-op. I am on day 5, south beach phase 1. Guess I am lucky........I would not make it with just liquids. The blender ball is shaker cup with a stainless steel open ball for blending shakes when your away from home or don't have a blender. It's great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted March 5, 2012 The Blender Bottle is a Protein mix bottle where you put in the liquid, dump in the powder, and then shake. The little ball blends the powder and you don't get chunks. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AJ61JO/ref=asc_df_B001AJ61JO1924708?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B001AJ61JO I saw Walmart had them for about $7 last time I was there.

She developed sickness five days after woods and was admitted to the hospital here. Her dr never got to see her... discharged her by phone. She had a job to walk out of the hospital here according to her mum. She died overnight at home. Apparently her stomach had been''nicked'' and her organs went into shutdown.
