  3. Diet depends on your doctor and/or nutritionist ...I am 4 weeks & I can't have chicken or salad....soft foods for 4 weeks then @ 6 weeks is all a go. I can have crackers & bread as long as it is toasted...I have to stay away from grainsz Reminder low fat & no sugar...

  6. Bariatric Advantage is not open to new patients. When I tried to log on for my surgery 4/30 it would not let me
  7. Take your Vitamins....your multi-Vitamin w/zinc should be a complete vitamin & 100% of recommended daily value...my nutritionist recommended Flintstone chewables 2x's a day. Biotin is good for hair skin & nails...I use the max strength....omega 3 ...they have smaller gel capsules that are more expensive.
  8. Any information your nutritionist or Physician gives you read it thoroughly. Ask questions if you are not sure. Gettin the operation is not enough, you have eat & exercise to maintain and see the greatest results.

  10. Are the vitamins complete vitamins & have 100% recommended daily value?
