Miss Jean 
Depends on where your going and how long you plan on being gone. I went oversea's for a month and took my vitamins from home and some protein bars/beef jerkey etc. but left the liquids and shampoos at home since I figured I'd have to buy them there anyhow. It was harder to find protein powder but if your just going somewhere in the states it shouldn't be a problem. Have a safe trip!

It also depends on how long ago you had surgery and what type of foods you are allowed to have.
I had surgery on 5/3 and flew to Colorado 5/14. I am still on the "full liquid" stage of my post op diet, and what I did was this -
I got several small rectangle 24oz tupperware containers, and filled them with my various protein powders. (can fit about 6-7 scoops in each). I then secured the lids with a couple of rubber bands, and wrapped them in clothes and put them in the center of my suitcase. All arrived with no issues. For the plane ride, I ate breakfast before I got on the plane. Then I took my shaker bottle, and a 'sample pack' of protein powder. When the drink service came around, I asked for milk, and made my shake right on the plane.
I also bought a bottle of water before I got on the plane to sip sip sip (in my airport, you can't take drinks thru security, but you can buy them on the other side)
I also made sure to get aisle seats on all my flights, so I could get up and walk every 30 mins or so.
When I got to Denver, I went to the grocery store, and bought milk, eggs yogurt and cottage cheese. (total of $20)
As far as shampoo and stuff, I did not bring any of that, as I am staying with family, and they have all of that already.
