Oh ok, I got to choose my own. I was given a list of what I needed as far as how many grams of Iron, Calcium. But the chewable Multivitamin I found is HUGE!!!! I got a pill cutter yesterday to break it up.

I'm so excited, a little nervous. Today is the start my pre-op diet today. This is my surgery center, lol. The bread is for my son. Is anyone else using the app Baritastic, it's a great app. 20160904_104852.jpg

They gave me the Iron plus the Calcium we get them free here

We have to have them in liquid form for a month do you ?

I had to buy my own. I found some dissolving ones, but they weren't a match to how much of each I needed. I would have been taking so many of them a day. I have to do chewable or dissolving. powder and liquid would be best to get directly in the blood stream. But it's not required.

Awww, no need to freak out. I just won't have help when I get home, so I'm preparing for after as well. I won't have anyone to run to the store if I need anything. And I wanted to have it all in one area, so I won't be rumbling thru cabinets looking for broth and noodles, lol. Good luck with your surgery

Oh and about the shakes, I have to be on 2 a day, before and after surgery. So that's a months supply for me on the shelf. costco had them on sale so I saw it as a blessing from God and got 3 cases. I also have 2 different flavors of vegan Protein powder to add to them if my taste does change. I also bought some zero cal Water Enhancer made with stevia to add flavor to the unsweetened applesauce

@@Aleathia, well, day 1 liquids in the bank, and man, it works! LOL. -5 lbs! I'm sure it's just Water weight if I were to go back to eating "normally," but who wants to do that!

I kept really busy yesterday and was pretty happily surprised I wasn't *too* hungry/distracted. I hear after day 3 it's much easier.

How are you finding it?

I haven't weighed myself yet, will weigh tonight before work. But being at work all night is a struggle. I use to eat out of boredom. So I did find myself getting a Lil hungry, but I pushed thru. Drinking my vanilla shake with a Lil coffee added so I can go home and clear my closet. I just slept after work yesterday. Congrats on the 5 lbs

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! Don't forget to take chapstick with you. I read that your mouth gets very dry and your lips may start to crack. Praying everything goes well
