Anyone else scheduled for January 2018? I have my surgery scheduled for January 11. I'm having to wait until next year because I had a stent put in back in December 2016. The anesthesiologist won't sign off until I have had the stent for at least a year and am able to come off of Plavix for the surgery.

January 8th surgery date. Anyone as nervous as I am? Also has anyone tried a Multivitamin that they like? I tried BariMelts and I do not like them.

I have the Tespo vitamin dispenser and they aren't bad at all.

I bought the premier protein banana cream and I love it and my body didn't react to it so that's wonderful. My nutritionalist was looking into why so many people love this brand. I guess is unusual because normally they are told to go with a isolate rather than an casemate protein but users aren't having an issue with it after surgery. the banana cream is really good and not gritty at all. Kinda past like a liquid banana pudding. I'm going to try to other flavors as well so I'll have plenty on hand after surgery. I'm still waiting on my date and insurance approval. I have finished all my test and once the labs get back they will submit to insurance

I think that I have tried all of the Premier protein drinks. Carmel is good and I sometimes put it in my coffee. Banana cream, Chocolate and Vanilla are good. I have tried to blend them with ice and now think they taste better right out of the container. I have tried the premier protein bars and I love love the salted caramel and the double chocolate ( I think that is the name) I recently bought the Nectar brand to try. Many have said how good they are. I bought a sampler pack so I can see which ones I like for surgery. Still trying to find out which vitamins to use since I do not like the Barimelt.

Haven't thought about vitamins yet. What don't you like and what are you looking for?

My date is Jan. 8th [emoji3]

Me too! I JUST realized that it is exactly one month from today!

I did not like the Barimelts because they were chaulky and gross tasting. They dont actually melt but as chewables. I want something that is easy and tastes good for a vitamin.

I did not like the Barimelts.

Im having mine after the 17th of jan 2018

Got some good news this week. Had appointment with my cardiologist - did treadmill, ECG, and sonogram and everything was good...actually showed some improvement over last year. Dr. took me off my blood thinner and gave clearance for surgery. All set for Jan. 11th!
