I have a surgery date - August 18, after starting this in March. I start my pre-opt diet tomorrow. I have my Protein shakes and have tried a few, not sure on these. Any suggestions? Also where do most people get your chewable Vitamins? online?

I am so excited to start this journey. I am 55 years old, actually just had a birthday. As most of you out there have fought my weight for many years. This will be the beginning of my new life.

I use the Protein powder and turn it into slushies. I haven't tried any of the flavored syrups; just read about them yesterday. I combine the milk, orange juice ice and powder for my Breakfast shake and for dinner I use the powder, small amount of milk, ice, yogurt and a spoonful of cocoa ... yummy. I buy Centrum chewables as a Vitamin.

I'm a bit ahead of you at 60 and this is exciting! Full steam ahead with no looking back!!!

I use body fortress whey protien choc.with a little sf torrani caramel, it tastes like a caramel mocha latte. Also the van.protien and torrani rasberry combo is very good. I'm just trying them pre- op. My 2nd surgical class is on the 14th , I'm hoping for my surgery soon after. Good luck with your surgery
