So i'm getting ready, surgery is 9/14.  I went to Shaws this morning and they had Crystal Lite buy one get one free and Star Kist tuna creations on sale for .99 pack.   I bought a bunch of both, I hope I like the flavored tuna, they sound good now.  I was at B J's yesterday and bought 3 packs of Premier protein shakes, they were on sale for $15.49.  Trying to make sure I have things in the house when I come home from surgery.  Otherwise I will go into panic mode.  I am that type of person, I have to be prepared.  What else shold I have ready?

They happen to have items on sale this week that I will need, so I figured I should take advantage of it.

We are surgery buddies. I'm having surgery the same day. I've mostly focused on some of the liquid things that I'll need as well. I've been reading a few blogs with recipients for the soft food stage. It's crazy how good somethings sound when I can have now is opti fast and broth. 

Good luck.

Cathy, what kind of flavored syrups did you buy, what will you put them in the shakes? I tried a Premier shake yesterday and find them very sweet.  The one's my nut gave me as samples I find have no flavor.  I'm thinking your syrups would help them.  Can you tell me where you bought them?

I got mine at walmart, but they have them on amazon. I have been wanting to get some for a while now...they are used in a lot of the shake recipes on eggface's blog. the brand is Torani. I bought vanilla, hazelnut, and caramel,,,those were the only sugar free ones they had. I plan to add the caramel to the vanilla shake mix, and maybe the others for coffee or tea. I was hoping to find more to add to vanilla shakes. My nutritionist did suggest getting SF Jello mix and adding a sprinkle to vanilla shakes, so I got some of those too.

Also I keep seeing people online with these fancy flavored broths...where are they getting those?? I think I need some. I got some unflavored protein powder just for mixing in broth. I'll get tired off all the sweet.

I have not seen any fancy broths.  I assumed broth meant bullion? I like the sound of fancy.  Lol
