Seems like I drank a lot of unsweetened apple juice!! I also had SF Jello, chicken bouillon cubes, instant mashed potatoes, etc. You will not be able to eat a lot or drink much at one time. 

I do not live in Bham, so can't recommend where to buy...and I don't buy anything real special online. My surgeon prescribes a all-in-one prenatal type vitamin, and at almost 3 yrs post-op I have never been anemic or had any negative bloodwork. All dr's are different in what they recommend.

Good luck!!

You are gonna do fine! I am gonna stock up on popsicles, broth, jello, gas x, crystal lite, mashed taters, splenda for my tea, baby food, yogurt ...  I'm sure Michele will be able to tell you most of if not all this info. Please keep us updated on your progress! I think we met at the last support group meeting.. how's your wife coming along with her lap-band plans?
