I'll be doing a 2 week liquid diet but my surgeons office provides the shakes.

That's awesome that they cover the cost of the shakes I didnt ask and they didn't mention it. I'm going to call them on Tuesday. I just bought 2 things of preimer shakes because it was so much cheaper then the bariatric advantage. I'm trying to locate somw inexpensive liquid vitamins for the first month. Have you found any?

They don't cover the shakes unfortunately. They just require using what they supply which I pay for. I'm hoping to hear good news regarding my surgery on Tuesday.

Oh ok good luck with your upcoming surgery. Im having bypass too because of my gerd. How much weight have you lost on the pre-op diet?

I could use an online friend(s) too (I'm in NC)- my surgery is September 26th. I'm getting both excited and nervous! If anybody has vitamin advice, I could also use them! I know Walmart sells liquid vitamins, but I'm not sure how good they are for surgery. I think it has alcohol in it to make them liquid.

I know that Centrum makes Vita-Mints that are melting- I just need to compare stats to make sure it has everything needed!

Where in Oregon? I'm near Chico, CA



I realized I put my date wrong mines 9-14 and I'm a ways away I'm in Molalla, OR! Near Portland

I did it!!! Gastric Bypass was done yesterday morning. Spent last night in hospital and tonight I'm in my own bed. I won't lie, there is some pain but seems to be well managed with meds. Getting in and out of bed is the worst! Any movement hurts but today it is better than yesterday and I'm hopeful that continues. I passed swallow test and was told that if I tolerate clears tomorrow I can add shakes to full liquid diet.

Awesome!!!! I'm still waiting on a confirmation on my surgery date but due to high confidence in my surgeon I started the liquid diet. Can I ask what meds you've had to take for surgery? I know I was prescribed norco, compazine, an anti acid and something else.
