Topic: RE: What are you doing to prepare for surgery?

I'm taking DaVinci sublingual B-12 1000 mcg with folic acid every other day before breakfast (my doctor's office) DaVinci Chewable Calcium 500 mg 3 times a day, not with meals (my doctor's office) Flinstone's chewable multi (at the grocery store) However I've ordered some liquid ones to try. The chewables taste awful to me. lol I've ordered these from bariatriceating.com. They have several interesting things to try. Tropical Oasis Liquid Calcium Citrate 14.99 Tropical Oasis Liquid Multi-Vitamins 19.99 Tropical Oasis Liquid B-12 14.99 These are specifically made for post WLS, but check with your doctor on dosages he/she recommends. Above all else, have fun taste testing. ---jan---

I will be banded on July 1st. It is really hard for me not to drink with meals too. It is also hard for me to get 64 oz. of water in each day. I am also worried about not getting enough protein because I don't really like protein drinks. My nut told me that there are some protein drops that aren't supposed to taste too bad that I am hoping to find at GNC.

Jan, I can tell you are a planner and very organized. So, I am just going to follow in your shadow. What vitamins are you taking and where do you get them?

Topic: Long awaited Surgery

I have waited a long time for this.. My girl friend Val went through the process already. Val has been such a confort to me and a great help, I am truly blessed by her. My surgery is on July 8th and I would be a liar if I told you I was not scared. I have to be ready to go that extra mile. My birthday is on july 9th, what a great present than a new take on life. I am trying to get myself mentally ready for the change of a life time. I think the hardest for me is eating processed food.Grrrrr I had to buy these lean frozen meals to eat the next two weeks to perpare correctly for the surgery. Small price to pay to have a new life. I hope that I can meet people to help me understand my surgery more and to be able to support each other. Good luck to everyone who is having surgery in the month of July. Donna
