So Monday is my surgery....I not really nervous just excited. I think I have everything ready that I'll need but was wondering about Vitamins. My doc said Centrum chewables are fine but I've been hearing a lot about opurity band vitamins. Anyone take special band vitamins??? Any input is appreciated.

Hello, Jersey Girl. I think the Centrum Chewables are fine if you make sure you get your nutrition in your other liquid meals. costco has vitamins you put in a bottle of Water and shake it up. They taste pretty good and have a load of vitamins in them.

On another note. Please, please let me know how your surgery goes. I am getting nervous as my surgery is Friday, Feb. 25. Best of luck to you for a speedy recovery and the journey to the NEW YOU.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
