Oh and about the shakes, I have to be on 2 a day, before and after surgery. So that's a months supply for me on the shelf. costco had them on sale so I saw it as a blessing from God and got 3 cases. I also have 2 different flavors of vegan Protein powder to add to them if my taste does change. I also bought some zero cal Water Enhancer made with stevia to add flavor to the unsweetened applesauce Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Awww, no need to freak out. I just won't have help when I get home, so I'm preparing for after as well. I won't have anyone to run to the store if I need anything. And I wanted to have it all in one area, so I won't be rumbling thru cabinets looking for broth and noodles, lol. Good luck with your surgery Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App Will check them out, thanks. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

I had to buy my own. I found some dissolving ones, but they weren't a match to how much of each I needed. I would have been taking so many of them a day. I have to do chewable or dissolving. Powder and liquid would be best to get directly in the blood stream. But it's not required. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Oh ok, I got to choose my own. I was given a list of what I needed as far as how many grams of Iron, Calcium. But the chewable multivitamin I found is HUGE!!!! I got a pill cutter yesterday to break it up. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Well I'm on 2 shakes a day before and after surgery, and costco had a sale on my shakes I paid a little over a dollar each. I have a baby food maker that I found on Craigslist for a whopping $10. It steams and purees to make different consistency. I got some mashed potatoes, just add Water, my nutritionist warned me about not feeling up to do alot after surgery, so I tried to shop for before and after. I have some canned chicken not too excited to try for after surgery. I won't have much help after surgery so I'm trying to prepare as much now. I also have a baby container with ozs on it so I can drink my 1oz evert 15mins. The Powerade is for after. I also got 2 boxes of gas x when I coupons now I have to sort thru my clothes and find sweatpants for my recovery. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App Premier Protein shakes, 30g of protein, 1g sugar and 160cal. I'm in Capitol Heights, MD. Very close to Washington, DC. Oh I forgot to mention the Baritastic App. It literally has everything we need. It has water, pill, food reminders and timers. It has a journal, weight log, food log and exercise log. And it connects with my fitbit Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Wow, I'm glad I posted my date in the title! Alot of us will be having surgery on the same day. We should try to check in with each other I've been overweight since I was 2 yrs old, lol. I can't wait to shop in the "other" section of the store or order cute clothes online and not worry about it fitting right or hiding my rolls, lol Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Yea, I haven't told anyone either. Only my family knows. I tried to do sleeve a cpl of yrs ago and everyone had an opinion. I told my boss I was having surgery, but didn't tell him what kind. He's the biggest gossip in the office, smh. So I told him I'm taking 2wks and will return in October Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

I'm on 2 shakes a day for before and after. For my 1st week, I have to take away something each day. Today is sweets. I work overnight, so I've been sleep, but I'm about to try the broth and egg noodles for the 1st time. By week 2, I have to be on a full liquid diet. I've lost 20 lbs during my 6mon program, can't wait to see how much I lose, this 2wks I'm also excited about the Purge, lol. Clearing my closet later on today. No more holding on to clothes just in case I gain the weight back. My nutritionist was worried about me cause I lack a good support system. I tried Google and wasn't finding anything. So I said they have an app for everything. .....so here I am. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -

Yea, I heard alot of ppl say their taste changed after surgery. So I also got some things to add to them just in case. I don't believe in wasting money, my taste buds will just have to find a way to deal with it, lol Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App -
