Hi Stacey! You go girl, Friday will be here before you know it and then the fun begins on the losers bench. I leave out 2 vit and 4 calcicum citrate (I'm tired of chewing my pills) so I take the pitite ones yes the vit are still chewable, I take 1 vit and 2 cal in AM with breakfast and then the others in pm. You will figure out what is best for you and yes you will forget then from time to time, I'm being honest, but you do need then!! I had the RNY 8/07 down 78lbs everyone is different you'll do OK Thinking of you Judy

My big day is friday too. I have been put on liquid diet, because gained instead of losing. The first couple of days were hard, but I am kinda getting the hang of it. I was supposed to have my surgery last month, so I was so hyped that when it was rescheduled for May 30th, I have been kind of numb to the thought. I had to get my gall bladder out, so I figure the lap band should be much easier since they are not removing an organ. It will be okay, and since I have been on the liquid diet, it has been easier to remember to take the vitamins. We do not have that many options of things to eat so I can remember the vitamins. It is amazing that when necessary we are stronger than we thought. Be Blessed! Nan

I also had my surgery Friday. Two days post-op and I'm a little sore but other than that feeling ok. Try to get your protein shakes in, they help. I've also used unflavored protein powder and added it to tea or broth and that helps too. Good luck, you'll do great! Michelle

The same here. I am a little sore. Additionally, I have had a hard time getting the protein shakes down. I have had a low carb slim fast with 20g of protein but I am getting tired of them fast. I am really glad the surgery part is over. I wish you all the best!
