Scheduled for surgery 6/28. So excited to get started on my journey towards a healthy lifestyle & naturally happiness also. (Being bogged down with an extra 150lbs gets in the way of my happiness). Anyway, I was wondering what Protein Shakes are the best? I'm starting my pre-op shakes soon & I'm not sure which to purchase. Also, I will check with my doctor at my final preop apt but Vitamins post op Have to be chewable? How long do you have to take chewable?

Any advice would be appreciated!

first off congrats!

secondly that will vary by plan, and even by doctor, and then further case by case.

I went and bought chewables and then found out they didn't need to be (the booklet they gave said chewables forever but with my sleeve and my doctor he said, no regular was fine if I wasn't having any problems swallowing)

I took what I had (hey, they were not cheap!) but I am very happy to be on my regular Vitamins now. blood work all good at 3 months.

Yesterday I met with my nut, she suggested flint stones chewable or Centrum chewable for the 1st 30 days....along with B12 sublingual, that would be taking once a week forever... I use a Protein powder that I like, I don't like pre-made Protein shakes.... Making your own allows you to adjust to your taste and add things like flax seeds, cinnamon etc...it's quick to make in the blender, just make sure you put Water in first, Everytime I forget that most of the powder sticks to the blender...

I wouldn't buy to much Protein shakes and powder you might react to them differently after surgery. Protein Shakes make me sick, they are too sweet

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
