Wondering where people have found deals and what brands work best?

I've found the best deals on Amazon. I haven't taken them yet, I'm still pre op. However, they were recommended by my Dr, either liquid or chewable, and the reviews were good.

Just had my first shake it wasn't horrible but it wasn't bacon and eggs lol oh well on to smaller and better things

Lol exactly. I would love for you to keep me updated if you can. I don't have a surgery date yet. I would imagine I'll get that date in April.

Yes of course I will keep you updated what type of pre op diet do you have to do? I'm starting at 5'7 and 300lbs and doing the shakes plus 6-8 glasses of water a day and can have 2 cups of broccoli a day if I have to for 3 weeks

They already mentioned the shakes. Above that they haven't said anything. I'm still about 2 months out. So when I'm closer I'm sure they'll give more instructions.

Nice I'm in Toronto Canada

I had surgery on 1/10/16. My advice...don't buy a lot of shakes, powders or mixes until you have tasted them. I thought I would get prepared and purchased stuff and I can barely swallow it.

I got the unjury bariatric chew-able Vitamins and they were horrible. I am someone that can eat almost anything. I used to chew TUMS for Calcium. But I could not stomach them.

All of this stuff can get expensive and in your excitement for the surgery it can be tempting to purchase stuff you may not need.

Good luck!

Thank you very much I appreciate the advice your right I am excited and can see that happening for sure
