HI all, i was just wondering how i might be able to prepare for surgery should have amy date in a week, im very nervous ( understatement) and i was wondering if there are certain Vitamins ( chewable) certain meds or anything i should have before surgery and what kind of Protein without dairy could i get? im really starting to freak out now that the office told me i was submitted and should have an answer in a week or 2. its getting closer and becoming more real. thanks Roger-fl.

For Vitamins, I take Source of Life. Penni60 reccomended them and they work really well. It comes in a liquid and a chewable and I notice a difference when I take them in my energy levels. For protien there are loads of choices, I use the Labrada products and they are really good, not sure if they make a dairy free one though. If you have a trader joe's near you they have a good selection of dairy free products as does the Vitamin Shoppe. As a last resort there is Isopure, it is expensive but loaded with protien and it comes in a clear form. Let us know what you find~Mandy

I mix my Protein powders with light soymilk. That does not seem to bother me like when I mix it in milk. Good luck.

I have had several doctors including my band dr tell me to take Flinstones chewables. They have the same stuff as the expensive ones for a fraction of the cost.

Works for me.

My Dr. told me to take Flintstones chewables with Iron... HEB brand is cheaper and has more Iron.

(Don't know if there is HEB near you)

Just look for Protein Powder that is Soy based - no dairy - no problem. You can mix it with Water or soy milk and Viola!

You can also get Egg Protein - I think it is called Albumin or something like that. You just want to avoid whey Protein - as that is the milk one.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

I survived without dairy, I HATE milk, although, I can drink milkshakes, LOL. I used eggdrop Soup for my liquid stage to get in Protein, and I did use milkshakes for protein too. After all, I was healing, LOL.
