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.

      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.
