Sharona 3 Posted May 12, 2013 Went to get all my Vitamins yesterday at the Vitamin Shoppe, I had looked online but it was so expensive. 2 sales people saw my list and immediately jumped in to help us. They had print-outs of approved items, notes from other bariatric customers. I got all my vitamins, a Protein Powder that tastes like ice tea with lemon to add to Water. Plus they recommended a mouth spray for dry mouth during hospital stay. Some of my vitamins are made just for gastric bypass patients. Oh and he also recommended using a juicer to help get in your need veggies since the main focus is usually Protein. Going local instead of online saved me $90 dollars and I got more than just vitamins, so I highly suggest going to a Vitamin store if you can. They also had high protein Peanut Butter and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember :-) [ATTACH]3508[/ATTACH] Surgery date May 14th 2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebbieG 262 Posted May 12, 2013 I am so ready for Tuesday!! I was around food/junk food all weekend and I haven't tasted a single thing. Not even a taste! 2 parties and I was drinking my Protein Drinks or crystal light. Wasn't even tempted to cheat. Yaaaaay for me! I lost 15 lbs in 12 days.

brandnewme2013 97 Posted May 12, 2013 I think I'm just going to buy a few things to get me through my 1st week, but I'm afraid to stock up on a lot just in case my taste buds change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can tell that you will do great on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharona 3 Posted May 13, 2013 Worked 8+ hours today (yes on Mothers Day) lol, cleaned my office did some last minute paperwork. Said goodbye for a couple of weeks (even though I was by myself). Ready to begin this journey, when the students come back in the fall they won't even recognize me, and that's GOOD :-) Surgery date May 14th 2013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
