Does anyone know if Bassetts chewable Multivitamins are good enough for sleevers?

I'm two weeks away from the big day and stocking up. I'm a Brit actually living in Singapore but as there is no support here, I hope you don't mind me following the Brit sleevers group.

I'm getting a friend to bring me any stuff I need from the UK (Boots/ Holland & Barrett). Is there anything else I need to stock up on ?

Thanks for your advice.

I use the Centrum chewable Multivitamins, sorry I don't know about the Bassetts ones are OK. I don't buy anything else particularly special to be honest.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how things are going for you ????

I was "done" on We'd. The first day was rough but I've been fine since. I'm having no probe with getting the liquids in but hate the Protein shakes. Anyone found a nice one ? Or other way to get Protein in the first stage. I am hungry though and really missing food. I know it's probably head hunger and acid reflux but I can't wait to get to the soft food phase so I can have a bit more.

I'm hating the Protein shakes. Is it possible to get your 60g of Protein in when you move to real food without boosting with Protein Shakes or Protein powder. I can't stand either. I'm concerned about the quantity of meat eggs you can manage. Do any of you not touch shakes etc and have still lost weight ?

Hey all, Holland and Barratt do a standard chocolate milk and egg Protein that is the best one I've found. I absolutely hate hate hate the taste of sweeteners and this one doesn't taste like that at all. Even better, mix it with a teaspoon of raw cacao powder (full of antioxidants), a tablespoon of Peanut Butter powder (low in calories and ups your Protein even further), a few slices of frozen banana (great for the potassium levels) and finished with almond milk (antioxidants) and that, my bariatric friends, is a delicious chunky monkey milkshake!! Does not taste like crappy protein shakes, tastes like a treat - gives you a sweet hit without any sugar or sweetener. A great way to get in your Protein and up your calories a little during those all important first few weeks!

My NUT told me to make my own Protein Shake so I'm using Crusha which is sugar free, Almond milk and Protein Powder. OMG it's amazing!! The vanilla Crusha tastes like vanilla ice cream!!

Ooh @@facebro29 I love Crusha! I didn't know what was sugar free. I'm going to try the strawberry one...

Yes it's lush. Some of them aren't sugar free but the ones I bought are from Asda and Tesco which are sugar free.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
