Hi everyone! Getting sleeved 8/8 and just wanted to know what products ya'll recommend from Amazon after surgery. I found the Bariatric Advantage line of products, I hope this is a good line.

Pre-op I would have given you a long list. Now as a post-op that had my tastebuds do a 180, I would say, just worry about your Vitamins. Leave the Protein and anything else you may need to return, to your local store.

Also, beware, Vitamins I liked pre-op, I could not stomach post-op. So if you do buy vitamins, opt for just 1 container as opposed to subscribing to save more. I so wasted money on that.

I buy my Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder from Amazon (I have Amazon Prime, free shipping). I got my last shipment in less than 36 hrs! Awaiting a shipment right now, as a matter of fact. Whenever I need anything, I check Amazon first, cuz of the free shipping.

My parents gave me a sizeable gift certificate for Amazon pre-surgery to help me get the things I needed. Looking back at my order history I got:

  • Cuisinart mini food processor
  • KitchenAid immersion blender
  • Mini ice cube trays (for little ice cubes, best for mixing in shakes/smoothies)
  • Premier Protein chocolate drinks
  • Wellesse liquid Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, & Iron
  • Lots of Kindle books and instant movies/tv series to stream while home recovering
  • heating pad
  • chelated zinc supplement (to prevent Hair loss - chelated zinc is easier on the stomach than zinc glutonate)
  • 32 oz. Bubba Keg -- I fill it with Water and ice each day and sip, helps get in my fluids
  • Fusionbrands poach pods - for making perfect poached eggs
  • Omicron wrist blood pressure monitor - all patients on HBP meds are required by my doctor to monitor their blood pressure 2x/daily after discharge
  • Syntrax Matrix and Syntrax Nectar protein powders (Matrix = mint cookie YUM), nectar = Fuzzy Navel, Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Tea)
  • Food thermometer (to make sure Hot Drinks are the proper temp to stir in protein without curdling it)
  • Fuzzy anti-skid socks for use in walking slippery hospital hallways

All of the stuff I got was prime-eligible by the way. Quick delivery and no shipping costs!

Great list, the only thing I can add that you won't have to return would be mini muffin tins and mini bread loaf pans. This was a really great list!

Wow, thanks. I have a Prime membership as well. i'll put that on my list. I think buying Vitamins and special protein items can be more convenient through Amazon.
