I'm 15 days away from my sleeve surgery. I'm a planner so I like everything in order, in advance. I'm making various stocks and freezing them in these awesome portion zip locks I got from Walmart. They are 1c. bags so I can track how much I'm using. I refuse to use bouillon cubes for liquids. I've got beef and chicken stock so far.

How are you prepping for surgery ?

The most important thing to have is protein shakes and your vitamins.

Are you using chewable or chewable gummies? I thought my NUT told me gummies were fine and now I'm reading otherwise.

My Nut said no gummies. But I guess eveyones is different. Im scheduled for april 2. Bought tons of jello, chicken and beef stock and slimfast. What protein shakes did your Nut tell u to get?

My 3 week post op vitamin diet consist of vitamins C & D daily, and b-12 once a week. Vitamin C is sold in liquid form from Amazon.

I blend both vitamins in my chocolate protein shakes that disguises the vitamin C flavor. If you can, use a good smoothie blender like the magic bullet.

Adding in a little ice make the protein thick like a shake.

I looked for high protein grams with the least amount of sugar. Premier Protein has worked for me. It has 30 grams of protein and taste good.

Gummy vitamins are not taken until stage 2 of my diet. I think at that time, it should be ok.

Thats good to know. I wonder why my dr insists on atkins or slimfast .they r way more expensive

I think you'll be surprised how long 1 cup will last. It was quite a while before I could 'eat' more than an eighth of a cup at a time!!! It's wonderful!!! I never used stock or bouillon, I bought Campbell's Soup, added the can of Water, as directed, and strained it. Good luck!

What a great idea! Way healthier (and tastier) than canned broth or boullion cubes!

Not prepping myself just yet, but I should be getting a surgery date within the next few weeks and then my one month of liquid Protein diet begins. Although, I should take a cue from you and start making some homemade stocks.

I had actually recommend one to her! It's all natural, no artificial sweeteners and 26g protein. Numedica Slim Fit chocolate.

I also have a few friends who are making me their favorite stocks recipe. It's nice to have friends that support the decision and want to be a part of it.

Pre-op testing tomorrow. And I'll get more info on which type of vitamins to be taking.

I'm pretty sure I'm overdosing on B12. Someone mentioned they take 1 time a week? I take two daily! 1000 mg!!

You'll be given a meal plan that list the liquids. and vitamins that you can have. If are not handed one, you may want to ask for one.

My Nut said no gummy vitamins, as they don't have the same percentages of RDAs as chewables. Mine actually recommended the Costco/Kirkland brand children's multivitamins. Similar to Flintstones chewable vitamins, much cheaper (and sold in bulk) but better RDAs in some things. She also said that I will need sublingual B-12 for after surgery and chewable calcium citrate tablets--she actually made up a schedule for me of when to take each vitamin every day because apparently the multi-vitamins have to be taken at a different time than the calcium citrate for best absorption. I don't recall the frequency on the B-12, but, yeah, I think it was once or twice a week.
