Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

CB31, can you swallow them? I was able to just swallow with water. Thank god. My vitamin was a chewable. It was so awful I gagged. Had to change it. Now its one capsule a day.

What are you taking? These aren’t bad & they have everything but calcium.

Not sure if you're asking me but I was taking the celebrate chewable and I switched to that!! Life Saver for sure!!!

I had my sleeve done on Jan 8th. Feeling great so far! The gas is the worst tho..I'm I'm killing my hubby with the smell! [emoji90][emoji90][emoji90][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Btw, someone mentioned wanting savory vs the sweet protein shakes. I found Organic Bone Broth at Wal-Mart of all places! The chicken is delish, fat free and 7g protein per cup! Goes down well even early on. It's under three bucks too! Score!

I just had my surgery on the 18th. So, far it's going well. I'm not losing much weight although it's only been two days. I would love to connect with other post-op January patients. I am having trouble swallowing my crushed meds because they taste so awful (bitter). Anyone have any ideas on what to mix them with to help the taste?

Sounds like you are doing good! On the pill thing, I have my surgery on the 30th but been trying to have everything I could possibly need lol but I’ve wondered about the pill thing too,,, are you where you can have protein drinks yet? I wondered if mixing them with a little protein drink would help.....??? I’m allergic the dairy (the protein) so have tried many non dairy protein powder but keep going back to one I’ve used the last 25 yrs.. let us know what you end up using.. good luck and glad you are doing well!

I’m actually in Spokane. I like the garden of life the best. And the Orgain is very good and they both come in different flavors I use one scoop of each to make a shake and it’s 30 g of protein it’s delicious.

My surgery was on January 18th. I’d love a buddy or two.
