Good luck with your diet... hope all goes well in Mexico. Let's keep in touch. Best wishes.

I am scheduled for Sept 9th ... starting to get nervous and anxious ... excited at the same time. Who is having surgery at the same day? Lets be in touch ... having my surgery in Portland OR ☆

If I are not able to ft ind a good one, u can use the pill crucher for the firs four weeks.

Are u serious?! 2 weeks liquids, right?!

Uaww! Some lemonade sounds like a good idea. What about the sugar? Keep us updated nyorker ..

Passing the leak test is great news! Why u cant sleep? Is it too noisy? Or the pain is bothering u?

I am glad to know that all is going well. Just relax and you will be better soon. Keep us posted about the results for the leak test. Enjoy the good care. Wishing u a speedy recovery.

Hopping that all goes well for u ... just try to relax and trust your decisions. God bless u

Lol ... by the way how are u doing post op?

I am wondering how long after surgery should be a good time to start treating the scars (mederma/silicone sheets) ... any ideas??

It was hard to find a chewable, gummy, or liquid supplement that does not have artificial sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame or high fructose syrup... and at the same time is high in folic acid and has no iron or calcium (since I have both to take separately). It took some work to put together my vitamins and minerals. I have posted my list here, and will add to it the Alive! Women's gummy multivitamins with 75 gummies, which has different ingredients than the one with 60. Just read the ingredients if u are looking for something with no artificial sweeteners. Like to know what are u guys planning to take as far as multivitamins...

She said at least 5 pounds ... in reality carbs make me hungrier for more carbs. I am trying to figure out how to take it from my diet without being miserable

Yes! It is sublingual ... hope it works good.

After 3 weeks going back and forth with vitamins and minerals ... here is what I have (will be using the first 60 days after surgery). Multivitamins: by Pure encapsulations - Pre Natal Nutrients (just because I want the folic acid). Need to open the capsule and use the powder with liquids or food. Calcium: by MRM - Cal-Mag-Zinc Liquid D3: by twinlab - D3 dots 2000IU B12: by twinlab - B12 dots 500mcg Iron: by Floravital - Iron + Herbs liquid After lots of research that is what I ended up with. Like to know what u guys will take ... thanks ;D

I am wondering how u guys r doing as far as the pre op diet. I am on a "30 days pre op diet"; · Two 8 oz. glasses of skim or soymilk milk, mixed with protein powder per day · I can have three meals a day, which can include o ½ cup of cottage cheese, non-fat ricotta cheese or non-fat, sugar free yogurt o 2-3 oz. of water packed tuna, salmon, lean chicken, turkey or tofu o Non-starchy vegies (raw, steamed, boiled or sautéed in 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil). Since my doc requested a 5lbs weight loss prior to surgery, as during this first week I am taking the carbs away not all at once. Seems like 30 days on this diet would be too much. So here is what I am doing. No rice, bread, pasta, beans, potato, no starch. Lots of salad and protein, some oat meal, protein bars and fruits in general. I am planning to reduce the carbs even more next week … and the last 2 weeks go on the diet 100%. What do you guys think??
