So, I was told by my nutritionist that I needed to come to my next appointment with the vitamins that I will take after surgery as well as what protein I will be using. She wants to make sure I have everything lined up and don't have to think about it at the last minute. I am going to take the Bariatric Advantage Complete Multi Formula chewable vitamin. I tried one yesterday. I was scared that I would gag, because anything that I have to chew usually does make me gag but it wasn't bad at all. It didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth and it wasn't as chalky as I thought it would be. To be on the safe side I got the orange flavor, figured I couldn't go wrong with it. For my protein I did the dutch chocolate Isopure...YUCK! I definitely can not drink that stuff. It made me nauseous. So, I'm going to Costco tomorrow and will pick up the premiere protein that everyone has been talking about. I do way better with pre-made shakes than with that powder stuff.

 

My next appointment is Tuesday...I'm nervous and excited. I'm praying I didn't put on any weight and that I've actually lost a few more pounds. I haven't been on the scale in 2 weeks, so I'm not sure. But I will be asking her what my possibilities are with getting surgery the first week in August. I plan on being off from work for about 5 weeks and that is the perfect time since not much will be going on, also, I didn't want to miss more than 3 classes when school starts back up. So, I'm hoping and praying that she says that an early August surgery date is possible.

Yeah! I know you are excited. I like the Premier shakes that you can purchase from Costco. I've tried most of the protein shakes and Premier is one of the better tasting options. I tried Muscle Milk. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

Good luck with your surgery date!

Today is my second day of pre op. Everything going ok so far. My surgery is June 5.

Lucky! I actually had to switch insurance companies to get the surgery. I should have done it sooner but I was so undecided and afraid. Good luck on your surgery!
