Congratulations! The first few months for me were very rough, e.g. weakness and hair loss from malnutrition, until I started working with a wonderful nutritionist. She had me focus on getting 40 grams of protein each day and two cups of milk. All the other nutrients, I got from eating two chewable multivitamins (any brand. I didn't worry about the fat and carbs as long as I got the protein. I'm now two years post op and doing great! Best wishes and take care!
