Ok Barb This is what I got the have the flintstones complete for my vit for now I also take 2000mg of biotin and 100mg of zinc this is suppose to help with the hair and nails some swear by it, so I have been on it for a month now to build it up. I also have slimfast low sugar low carb and each can has 20gm of protein and I will also have Advant Edge carb control 17gm per can. I have severeal kinds of SF jello's and SF puddings SF popsciles and SF fudgepops. and I also have the creamed soups and I was told I could have Choc coco wheats and I have cream of wheat too.I have my mashed potatoes and my fatfree gravies to stir in and I got a magic bullet from santa so it willl be a great help to me. I will be purraing fruit and freezing it like a sorbet for later on. and of course my cottage cheese. So I believe I am set for a couple of weeks, I also have several bottles of water and crystal light too. so I should be good to go for a while huh LOL...

Topic: RE: Liquid diet making my stomach turn!
I've absolutely lost weight on the recipies. I am doing the HRM program of liquid diets and am down about 18 pounds in 2 weeks. Each program probably has varying ideas...our nutritionist gave out a recipe book and some I've improvised myself in order to help us make the most of our shakes and ensure that we all stay on board, even when those nasty craving****!
Topic: RE: Did anyone work the day before surgery?
OMG! I have to do fleet enemas and milk of mag every nite for 3 nights before my surgery! Will I ever leave the bathroom?? All this after 2 weeks on Medifast shakes! All this and I may be half way to goal even before surgery!

Topic: RE: Liquid diet making my stomach turn!
OK, sounds good and all but my Medifast diet is to lose weight and shrink the liver before surgery not just a protein shake to get protein in. The ideas I will keep in mind for post surgery protein recipes. I have to follow 5 shakes a day for 2 weeks to lose a certain percentage of weight before surgery. Believe me if that was not the case I would use it in brownies too! YUM!

Topic: RE: Hello...............
I wish you luck I am hoping the surgeon can give me a date for the end of Jan. I have the cardiologist and pre-op this week and all the results will be in. The the letter to BCBS which I have already confirmed they will do the surgery for medical necessity.
I am told by the surgeon they are not book alto the last week because the surgeon has been off so I am crossing my fingers to see if it will be in Jan or Feb.

Topic: RE: 4 more days!!!
I am thinking about putting stuff in the freezer in portion sized containers. Something to make prep easier. I have SF jellos, puddings and a few protein packets. I need to get SF pops, broths(should it be FF or low sodium?). I still need to work on getting 64oz of liquid in too.
OK, now I feel like I have to go read my info now and my WLS for Dummies!
There is soo much to know.
Talk to ya later,

Joetta,
Amen to having it over. I am like you, nervous but excited. What kind of Flintstones did you get? I know there is a kind with iron. What kind of calcium? Did you get Biotin? What kind of protein did you get? I am going to the Vitamin Shoppe and Trader Joes and possibly GNC tomorrow to get all the goodies I will need. I have the sf/ff pudding, and jello. I have soup which can be strained. I also heard we could do cream of wheat. I would like to get sf Carnation Instant Breakfast but I am having a tough time finding it. Yummmm mashed potatoes sound SOOO good right now. I'm on liquid right now LOL

Topic: RE: New here to the Board
Thank you for the info/tips... As I won't be at my home for two weeks after surgery I am trying to make sure I don't leave anything out... My cat and I are traveling to my parents and I will be hanging out with them... (although I probably won't need all the time off, it will be nice so I can eat into a routine post surgery and i won't have to make the trip again a week later for post op)... 7 is Pre-op, 9 surgery, 21 is post op... so I will hang out at my parents for a week and maybe see some friends I haven't seen in awhile... who knows... I will be bringing my laptop with me so I will post when I get to my parents after surgery...
Topic: RE: 4 more days!!!

1 1/2 hr trip home.They will have soap and tooth paste and tooth brush and shamppoo there to use, but oh yeah I can't forget my beloved cpap machine. I have to have it with me there. soI will say a prayer for you snd you can do the same for me and I know we will come through to the losing side just fine(sore for a bit) but on the losing end then. Good Luck to you Barb,
Hugs Jan
