Hey Guys, Im getting banded in december 09, but i want to get prepared early, What should I buy over the next couple of months to get myself ready for life as a Bandster?

And what should I keep in my cupboard or bridge at all times?

I bought a VitaMix several years ago, and barely used it, but its now getting a great workout. It makes hot Soups - to ice cream in minutes. The Magic Bullet is a lot less expensive, and I've read good things about it. There are lots of other brands, but you'll probably want some form of blender.

You'll want to find a good Protein Powder that you like. Start early trying them, as they will probably be the mainstay of your pre/post op diet. Many companies offer samples. You can google "protein powder samples" to find the various brands. unjury is a popular brand, and comes in the ususal choc/van/strawbry flavors, plus chicken broth & unflavored. I highly recommend the latter two.

Measuring cups... lots of measuring cups. As well as liquid containers (like Water bottles, or the blenderball from GNC). And some small tupperware containers (for portioning),
