Hi.. I'm scheduled for surg 6/28. I have been watching a lot of you tube videos & reading a ton about what to expect. I watched a few videos in which people say that the are always cold since surgery. Is this true? If so, any idea why? I'm constantly sweating as I am 150 lbs overweight & I'm curios if there is any truth to this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Scheduled for surgery 6/28. So excited to get started on my journey towards a healthy lifestyle & naturally happiness also. (Being bogged down with an extra 150lbs gets in the way of my happiness). Anyway, I was wondering what Protein shakes are the best? I'm starting my pre-op shakes soon & I'm not sure which to purchase. Also, I will check with my doctor at my final preop apt but Vitamins post op Have to be chewable? How long do you have to take chewable? Any advice would be appreciated!
