Are the blender bottles worth it for Protein Shakes? I'm having my surgery on November 15th and I'm wondering if this would be worth it to buy.

I bought one for $20. Haven't used it for the shakes but it's coming in handy for weeks 2-3 for full liquids (I'm blending soups).

I have 4 of them and still use them! Totally worth it.

I bought two of them, one for home and then one for work. They work really well for getting the chunks out of Protein powder shakes, especially the thicker, stickier powders like casein.

Just ordered mine on Amazon thanks everyone! Now onto the task of finding a Protein Shake I can tolerate that is not extremely expensive.

You bet they are! I have 2 of them. One trick I use for cleaning them is to fill it 1/2 way with Water and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds( good upper body workout too, kind of like the shake weight). Then I open top, dump and refill with Water letting it overflow for a few seconds. After dumping out the water, the blender cup is about 95% clean. At the end of the day, I end up putting them into the dishwasher to get them 100% clean.

Does anyone use a juicer? Wondering if I should get that too.

A juicer would be good if you literally want to dice, slice and juice up raw fruit and veggies. However, not necessary if you are mixing up Protein shakes, super/ green powder or some kind of powder that has been prepared commercially. A blender cup will suffice to mix it up and cheap.

A juicer literally just gets juice out of fruits or vegetable. I have a Ninja blender for chopping stuff up and it's great!

My mom gave me her Ninja. So you put your veggies in it? How does it taste? Any good recipes? I am on full liquids right now, so I am not sure if I am allowed to have that, but maybe when I move to soft food.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
