Preparing for Surgery this July/August

Well after reviewing the stuff that the nutritionist gave to me - there is a list of "must have items" on it.  TSo I started picking up a few items - here is a list: 
1.  Citracal  - which i bought - but the pills are HUGE - do I crush these afterwards or should I look for a liquid calcium?
2.  Liquid Vitamin B complex sublingual - which I bought - but do I need B12 also?
3. Chewable Centrums - i bought
4. Unflavored Whey - couldnt find it this weekend....?
5. wire mesh strainer
6.  sugar free crystam light  - bought
What else would people recommend I get before the surgery to be ready?  I know I am type A - because I dont even have a date but I want to be ready in case they say June! 

Hi!

Sounds like you are off to a good start...

I think there are Citracal minis available..

Of course, you may want to have your hospital stuff-- CHAPSTICK.
Early out... I used alot of the Ready to Drink Shakes....
just because it was so much easier to deal with..
I liked the OH YEAH banana & also vanilla flavors.

I always have a few RTD shakes on hand. Pure Protein... makes a decent banana flavor & vanilla... theme here right? I dont' care so much for the cookies & creme. 35 grams protein... low carbs...
Also have tried RTD...MET-Rx... Mocha & peanut butter shakes...  51 grams of protein 2 grams sugar 7 carbs....

of course, there is a debate about how much protein a person can actually absorb so some may be lost... still... I think it is an individual thing and the low sugar.. low carb.... counts are good.  these particular RTD's are sold individually in my area for about $2.99
the Pure Protein ones are sold in packs of 4 or singles.

Also I like the Atkins shakes... low carb decent protein.

Unjury chicken soup mix... good protein... a bit salty for my taste.. though.

A couple of really small plates, small forks & spoons.

AND of course... take your PRE-OP photos!!!!

YOU will be thrilled to see the progress you are making!!!!
