Thank You! Vitamin C? Would chewables work? How do you freeze egg, chicken, and the other salads? Won't it taste weird? I sure would love other low carb meals! My nutrition class is all day. :/ I guess that's a good thing! My class is March 26. The more information we have, the more ready we'll be.:)

I've read on here that Biotin helps with Hair loss. I think I'm going to add that to my daily Vitamin ritual! Have you started taking any yet? What lists did they give you to take daily? Sorry again for all the questions.

Vitamin C chewable or liquid will work. My only Concern about after surgery is the sourness of the chewable. I've started taking centrium chewable. I was told I could take a chewable flintstone if I needed. Which I may switch to because the centrium is 3 gum ball like things. As for freezing, I'm not sure how well it will work but I bought a vacuum sealer and I'm going to try it. It's worked well with other frozen meats like cooked pulled pork so I'm not sure. I'm going to try it out this weekend and let it stay frozen for a week. I will let you know how it tastes. Biotin, great I'll add it too. I'm also going to take Vitamin A not from an animal. al Academy of Sciences. The recommendations are 900 micrograms daily (3,000 IU) for men and 700 micrograms daily (2,300 IU) for women. It fights infection like Vitamin C. I was only told to take a chewable Multivitamin and then asked my nutritionist about vitamin c for healing. She said that was good to add. Ill ask about vitamin A as well. No reason to be sorry for the questions. I'm so nervous now I can't stand it.

Alright! Day after mine. Are you getting overly excited too? My pre-op diet has been getting to me horrible, but I'm pushing on through. I wish you the best with your surgery.

I have to stay in it until my surgery. Yep, I'm going nuts. My surgeon wants me to be below 50 BMI because of anesthesia complication so I have 8 lbs to go. But I was told the more I lose the better. Preparing for this surgery has me do nervous. I hate complications. Unfortunately I don't have a large support system. My parents, even for me being married and 42, don't think I need to risk my life. Their lack of support really doesn't help me. It hurts. So yeah, I'm going nuts.
