Getting ready to shop before my surgery in a few weeks. Which brands/types of Vitamins do you take? I know I need a Multivitamin and Iron pill but which brand should I buy? Also what can I take to prevent hair loss? Should I start taking everything now before surgery? Any other advice? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery is coming up in a few weeks and I am getting my shopping list ready. What is your favorite broth? Flavor and brands? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes my hospital is a center of excellence and my doctor is one of the best. When I asked him why he doesn't do pre op diet all he said is it's not necessary. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery scheduled for 7/13. My doc doesn't require any pre op diet (only not to eat the night before). I'm worried this is going to make my first few days very hard because I will be so used to eating and my body will be shocked. On the other hand, I keep thinking that I should enjoy this time and eat all the yummy food I can because very soon my entire life will change. Opinions? Advice? Anyone?

July 13 in Los Angeles!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been approved for surgery and expect to get a surgery date scheduled in about 1 month. I really don't like my nutritionist and I feel like I've spent the Past 6 months just going through the required motions without getting anything out of it. I know the basics but have a lot of concerns about post op. Can I switch nutritionists now? What kind of nutritionist do I look for? The one my surgeon works with is so stupid and I just want to find someone helpful that I can call/email after surgery in case I need it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doctor doesn't require anything preop other than not to eat or drink past 12 the night before. So happy there are others because I was really worried I was the only one! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
