From the RTD the most popular on this forum are probably the premiere Protein and the isopure. The isopure you can purchase just one bottle from GNC and that way you can try different flavors to see if you prefer one. If you are preop make sure you don't buy too much. Every Protein Drink I liked preop I couldn't stand post op.

I take the flinstones multivitamin and bariatric advantage brand b12 and calcium. The unflavored un jury protein powder isn't flavored so it isn't likely you'll get sick of it. Every protein that I liked pre surgery I couldn't stand post surgery so be careful about buying anything flavored in bulk. There are a couple of forums on here where people have posted long lists of protein drink recipes so that should help you out.

I was prescribed liquid lortab following surgery

I have difficultly getting in enough calories (4 months out) and I cannot tolerate artificial sweeteners. My doc said its fine to drink regular Gatorade which I water down because otherwise I find it much to sweet. Before when I was just drinking water I found myself getting very lightheaded and low energy, the Gatorade has helped me a lot.

I started eating popcorn 8 or 9 weeks out.

I'm about three months out and have not knowingly experienced any negative side effects from drinking from a straw.

The more you walk the more likely you'll be able to burp.

Yeah it's definitely better now (3 months out). I still get really bad dry mouth though especially at night.

Yup I definitely did. I think it's called ketosis

I tried wine with carbonation 3 months out which was very uncomfortable

IV dilaudid and toradol in the hospital. Sent home with liquid Vicodin and oxycodone tablets.

I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to take melatonin. My dr never mentioned anything about it. If you're worried though I'd just call your Drs office and ask so that you'll have peace of mind

Carbonated drinks and ice cream

I like the chicken tortilla soup which is panera brand and you can buy in the grocery store.

Turkey pepperoni with melted mozzarella cheese is one of my favorite snacks.

I stopped because I was instructed not to take anything for 72 hrs or so before surgery. I'm not sure what the rationale is behind it, and I'm sure this varies from surgeon to surgeon. Hope this helps answer your question.

Started 2 weeks pre op. Stopped three days pre op. Started again 5 days post op.

I heard from another person who had a surgery that they used Rogaine and it helped. I'm going to try it soon and I'll post in a few months about how successful it is

I liked a heating pad on my stomach and drinking decaf hot tea.

I have no idea why but my NUT said chewable and chewy are okay but gummies are not for a couple weeks or something after surgery.

I am not personally pre diabetic but during the initial information session that I attended the director said pre diabetic was not considered a co morbidity.

And I will send you a message on Wednesday after I send it off with the tracking number.

Great so I can give you my paypal email address and then have the package sent off on Wednesday if that sounds good to you.

So usps has a large priority mail flat rate box for $17.90. Does that work for you?

Okay I'll figure it out and get back to you.
