Now I'm getting excited

I am so close, 5 days left. I have been taking all the advice you all have been giving me to get things ready. I have a few more loose ends to tie up. I have my bag packed and all my post op vitamins. So many of you have taken the time to post lovely messages to my surgery page. I thank you very much Btty Boop60

WoW Btty Boop60!! I do not have my bags packed but i do have protien and vitamins ready and waiting...wait i forgot the dry vitamin E ok i have it close to ready I am going to make a bunch of jello and make sure i have lots of bullion ready to go....... oh and i want some of the flavored water just to be able to have somthing different post op so i think a trip to costco is in order... Did you get anything new to wear at the hospital? I had outgrown my jammie pants so I did get a new pair of those. I am excited too, scared I am getting so many cards and thoughts from everywhere it is always nice to know that you are cared about It is almost overwhelming. I hope that your surgery goes without a hitch and lets try and meet back here next friday with some comparison notes?? What time is your surgery? I am not untill late in the day which is a bummer as far as I am concerned I am hopeing to get in early but in all my nursing career I have never seen a case go early... Well, my twin thank you for letting me ramble on ......May God Bless you and keep you safe... Remember we can do all things through Him........... Debbie

Hey guys! I have my protein shakes,sf jello and popscicles.My broth, however I don't have my vitamins yet. What ones should I get? I have not bought any vitamins yet. I don't know which ones to get.I am soooooooooo excited for you guys. My heart is beating all fast and stuff. Kwheen

Kwheen, My surgeon has a very long list, or seems that way to me for the vits, ask your surgeon to advise you on what he wants you to take.. I have chewable vits, b-12, stress b. zinc, calcum, vit c, polysaccaride iron, dry vit e Another place to get some good samples is www.enjoyhealth.com I have bought my protien at costco, they have chocolate and vanilla pretty tasty especially if you mix sugarfree orangeaide with the vanilla taste like a dreamcicle...yummy Debbie

Thank you Debbie, I'll check the site and order some samples. I trying to taste everything I can to make my favorite choices. I have a list of vitamins like that too. I have gotten them a little bit of everywhere. All chewable. I should be good in that department. Btty Boop60

Btty...again, congrat's girl. As for me, I dont have anything ready yet. I need to get the vitamins but as far as the protein, I'm not sure what to buy. My surgeon is suggesting I pay $250 for a month supply from bariatric advantage but I dont want to buy it and then no like it. I've heard that your taste buds change after surgery so I'm kinda hesitant about buying something I won't like. What are you guys buying? Have you tried it already?

Hi there, I just wanted to congratulate you on your upcoming surgery!!!:D Isn't it exciting? Mine is on Sept. 19 and I am about the bust at the seams. I am supposed to do a two week fast of protein drinks before surgery, so I'm starting on the 5th. Man, that's gonna be tuff but worth every second since I get my surgery!!! I just bought Flintstone type multivitamins with iron and some B-12. I don't know what else, of course I'll learn more on the 7th when I go to my Nutrition class. Best of luck to you all who are going to be losers soon! Blessings, Kelly

J Bee $250 a month. They must get a cut or something. I have gotten some samples from vitalady. They are 1.99 per sample. But, at least that way, you get a chance to try different ones before you buy anything bulk. I've also bought a few from unjury. I've also heaard GNC, and trader joes have good ones too. I hope this helps you a little. Kwheen

Betty,' I know how you feel, I am excited too, mine is in 10 days!! I think I am ready, been taking my vits and protein drinks to boost me up a little. Hopefully it will help me heal better after surgery. Please keep me posted, I will have you in my thoughts on tuesday!!!xoxoxoxo Sandy

Good luck on Monday my date is monday as well see you on the winning side!
