I'm going to use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury for my pre-op diet too. Actually, that's the only Protein powder that my doctor has on his approved list I tried several flavors and they are pretty good. I just cannot taste the difference between the chocolate Classic and the chocolate Splendor. LOL.

Have you guys decided on which Vitamins to use post-surgery?

I tried the vanilla yesterday. It was ok but not great. Don't feel bad I can't tell the difference in the chocolates either. I've picked up chewable Multi Vitamins and calcium/vit. D at costco. I've been told that after surgery a lot of docs want you on a probiotic too. I haven't looked for those in chewable yet. My nutritionist told me to start taking 5000mg of Biotin now to help cut down on hair loss after surgery. Anyone else doing this?

I haven't thought of taking Biotin before. That sounds like a good idea. I have a few samples of chewable vitatmins and a liquid one. I was going to wait till after surgery to take them.

Hey Everyone!

I was approved today for gastric bypass surgery!! My surgery date is Nov. 21st. Pre-op appt. is Nov. 10th. Only a one week clear liquid diet. I'm nervous (about quitting smoking like right now, cutting out caffeine and eating healthier) Let's connect!!!! I'm excited. Phoenix Arizona here...I'll post before and during pictures soon. For now, I've just posted a before which is from last year so technically I'm smaller in this picture than I currently am.

Hi.

My surgery is tentative for mid November. I'm also having hiatal hernia and gallbladder done.

I am getting nervous... mostly about after. Will I get enough vitamins/protein? Will I be able to keep the Vitamins down? Will I lose my hair? Will I be able to not go back to smoking? and yes... will I die?

Someone said to me today "What if you don't get the surgery" and the answer is... there are more risks if I don't have it done!

Really want to connect with others who are going through the same thing.

Starting my liquid diet tomorrow. Are you allowed veggies and a small piece of lean meat for dinner or all liquids?

I am allowed up to 6 ready to drink Protein Shakes, Water, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles.

I meant to also say that is for one day, and it cannot exceed 900 calories. The first three days were tough! Caffeine headaches, tired and lethargic. But today, day 4, I was more alert and energetic.

I'm totally new to this page and not sure how it works. Hoping someone can help??

I would like to talk with others going through the same thing.

Thanks so much and I wish you all the best!

Hi I'm Angel I live in Mesa scheduled for November 6th

[carriekos 25]

I just got the call Thursday that I have been approved by surgery, I'm scheduled for Nov. 17th. I'm excited and really scared. You see, in January, I had lap band surgery, got severely sick two weeks later and an infection at the port that spread to the band. I had to have the band removed end of March. After months of recovery and getting healthy again I qualified for a bypass. I'm just afraid of something going wrong again.
