try syntrax nectar. they are fruity and you can mix them w less water and take them as shots. vitamin shoppe has them in store. a lot of bariatric online places let you order samplers as well, with one of each flavor. i mix 1 scoop w 4 oz. also matrix makes a min cookie oreo one, and nectar flavors i enjoy are the double stuffed cookie, fuzzy navel, and crystal sky (blue sweettart).

i was scared as to what the dress could be when you said crinoline, but no! it's still gorgeous. not faddish or with telltale signs as to exactly when you got married the first time. congrats!

you also only started at 215 lbs. Most of these people you are reading about are 275-300+. you are doing just fine.

i am on a prenatal gummy right now. all women of childbearing age really should be on a prenatal. it promotes general and reproductive health. plus, if for some crazy reason, you get pregnant, you know the foundation is set nutritionally. as long as there is sex to be had, there is ALWAYS a chance lol for post op i'm going with Celebrate Vitamins. they have formulated specifically for each type of surgery. they know exactly what type and quantity of vitamins you need for absorption.

i've seen a biotene spray... i would just check around. but the mouthwash is great and not too minty like listerine. they use it to keep the mouths of hospice patients moist at the end, so i was planning on using it to rinse my mouth post op.

biotene? it's a dry mouth mouthwash... walmart and such carry it.

adding biotene to me preop list.... lol

i enjoy Syntrax nectar. they are fruity instead of creamy. i like the crystal sky, which is like a blue sweet tart, and fuzzy navel. they are easy to mix with a smaller amount of Water than recommended ( i do 1 scoop 4 oz h20) and take 2 shots. they are about 25g Protein on average. also iforce protean comes in vanilla cupcake batter and red velvet. i haven't tried them, but reviews have been great. i just ordered some. with the nectar ones, i will also get in an extra serving and mix 1 with my water for the day and add sweetener to taste. it's a little watered down, but the sweetener helps it to be like lightly flavored koolaid.

no pre-op diet here except for the standard nothing the day before and nothing after midnight.
