drink protien shakes and get your protien and liquids at the same time...

The pre-op class gives you detailed instructions on the different phases after your surgery.... liquid phase, soft food phase....

Vitamin regimine, protein requirements, etc.  It's a long day but very helpful.  I did mine 3 years ago.....it's education not testing.  I don't think they've changed  it so I believe your pre-op testing will be a seperate appointment actually at the hosptial. 

Good luck with your surgery.  You're in excellent hands with Dr. Mattar.  He did mine 3 years ago (RNY) and it's been terrific!

I see you're set for surgery next month.  Don't buy large quantities because what you like before surgery might not be what you like afterwards.

Immediately post op I lived on the big glass bottles of Isopure.  (I got them at GNC).  They gave me this at Clarian North while still in the hospital.  40 grams in a bottle, and protein is critical post op.

I'm almost 3 years out and I still use Unjury.  You can order a few samples from them to see what you like.  I like to mix different fruit flavors into the vanilla one but it might be a while before you're ready for mixing anything extra in there.  I like the vanilla & chocolate best.  Strawberry is okay... but I did not like the chicken broth one...

Good luck on your surgery!  It's a wild ride!

i have been checkin around for vitamins and i think im gonna go nuts. i been thinkin that i would like to use a different vitamin than the flintstones chewables. i just think that since we are gettin most of our vitamins through supplements i would rather trust a better vitamin than a childrens chewable. does anyone have any advice on this or am i just overthinkin it?

What is the best protein shakes to get?
