  1. 48 days until I leave for Mexico. I am currently researching post op vitamins and protein options. I am okay shopping online but I would prefer to go with as much natural/herbal and Canadian products. Any suggestions???

      Me too! I'm going to Tijuana on August 12th. I also want to know where to get what I need in Canada. I was told by someone (friend of a friend) that Costco carries Premier Protein Shakes and Quest Protein Bars that are high in protein and (relatively) low in carbs. I haven't checked it out yet, but will soon. I'm in Regina. Where are you?

      I am from Edmonton.

      I am having a dificult time finding a vitamin to take because there are SOOOO many out there.

      And at the end of the day, how different are they.

      They must be due to the price differences.

      I look at any thing Kirkland as being pass produced and sold in bulk.

      I look at Jamison vitamins as bottom of the barrell cheap cheap. At Rexall Pharmacy they are buy one get one free right now.

      I look at the online, super-weight lifting-junkie vitamins as over priced repackaged Jamison vitamins.

       

      They do have a bariatric online vitamin store that I have been looking at.

      But again I go back to the cycle of "are they the same vitamin just in a different package"?

       

      I would like to go as natural as possible when it comes to vitamins, whether it be through herbal or not.

      I do also want to support Canadian products and buy as local as possible.

      North Americian for sure. NO out of country products for this girl unless absolutely necessary. I always check the labels of everything I purchase.

      As for natural, I don't know...... But wanted to mention that my material says to get a liquid vitamin for the first month after surgery.
