 Congrats on a date! We did not have to do liquid diet before our surgery. But did after we were out of the hospital. You will need to find some you really like, I started with a few little single packages and so liquid and that is still the combination I like too use. I bought a couple of good tasting protein powders at our max muscle ( a body builders shop) but you can get some at Walmart too. 

You can do it, you will do what ever it takes to feel better and get healthy

finally have a scheduled surgery date.  it is may 31st.  i won't know the time until the day before unfortunately.  i am meeting with the nurse at the weight loss office on monday to get the information about the 10 day liquid protein diet and will also pick up the protein powder then.  a little worried about that diet and the diet after the surgery but i'm sure everything will work out.  any suggestions on how to tolerate the liquid protein diet from anyone who has done it?

thanks

I had the open rny on March 13, 2012 and the Celebrate brand is suppose to have the best vitamin values. I take the grape chewable multivitamin and also the iron as well. I tried the multi in the pineapple strawberry and I didn't care for that, it left an after taste, but the grape isn't bad. I'm actually thinking about order from the site when I need more. The other plus is that they have a 90-day supply available.

i am looking for some advice regarding vitamins.  my surgery will be the standard gastric bypass done the end of may or beginning of june.  i have found a website called celebrate vitamins and they specialize in vitamins for those that have gone through gastric bypass.  i have never priced vitamins before and was wondering what others are doing?  my surgeon recommends a multi-vitamin, b-12, calcium, iron and zinc.  i can get all of the vitamins through celebrate vitamins except zinc.  i also have an aversion to swallowing pills.  it is very difficult for me and all the vitamins through celebrate vitamins are chewable which is what i need.  the  price for a multi-vitamin, b-12, calcium, and iron is $120 every three months with free shipping.  is that a good price or is that way too high?  i honestly haven't really looked anywhere else except bariatric advantage and they were a little higher.  thanks for all the advice.

hi tamara.  great to have you here in the group.  i'm usually very quiet in the group and just read and sometimes post.  i also enjoy crafting and specifically scrapbooking.  my surgery is pending for the end of may or the beginning of june.  just passed the insurance process and got the approval.  hopefully we can be a support to each other as new bypass people.
