I'm so glad that there are so many supportive people on here ! I feel more prepared than ever , mentally, but I still need to get things for surgery .

What are some already made Protein Shakes that are quick and easy to find w/o having to order off line ?

What about Vitamins ? B-12 ? Will liquid Centrum do the trick ?

Ever tried Protein Popsicles ?? Eww maybe ? Lol idkkkkk....

What about Medicine for monthly cycle ??

What are things I will need for the overnight stay?

Sooo many questions :)

Your dietician should go over all the meds you need after your surgery. I now take 2 Multivitamins, B12, and Calcium caltrate. As far as overnight/hospital stay things- I brought loose fitting t-shirt, and elastic band shorts. I also had my hair straightener, makeup & other cosmetics. If I had only one thing I could have brought with me it would be my cell phone. My phone was my link to the "outside" world!! I was on it 24/7 when I didn't have visitors.

Oh yeah as far as popscicles- I lived on them! Jello- sugar free ones! Tasted delic! I did also buy Protein Shakes ahead of time - don't go crazy and buy a ton you can only drink so much- they go a long ways! Good luck :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
