Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 4, 2014 I'm 15 days away from my sleeve surgery. I'm a planner so I like everything in order, in advance. I'm making various stocks and freezing them in these awesome portion zip locks I got from Walmart. They are 1c. bags so I can track how much I'm using. I refuse to use bouillon cubes for liquids. I've got beef and chicken stock so far. How are you prepping for surgery ? 1 inneedofchange reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 4, 2014 The most important thing to have is Protein Shakes and your Vitamins.< /p> Are you using chewable or chewable gummies? I thought my NUT told me gummies were fine and now I'm reading otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marmello 77 Posted March 4, 2014 My Nut said no gummies. But I guess eveyones is different. Im scheduled for april 2. Bought tons of Jello, chicken and beef stock and slimfast. What Protein Shakes did your Nut tell u to get? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anxioustobethin 6 Posted March 4, 2014 My 3 week post op Vitamin diet consist of Vitamins C & D daily, and b-12 once a week. Vitamin C is sold in liquid form from Amazon.< /p> I blend both vitamins in my chocolate Protein Shakes that disguises the vitamin C flavor. If you can, use a good smoothie blender like the magic bullet. Adding in a little ice make the Protein thick like a shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anxioustobethin 6 Posted March 4, 2014 I looked for high Protein grams with the least amount of sugar. Premier Protein has worked for me. It has 30 grams of protein and taste good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought my NUT told me gummies were fine and now I'm reading otherwise. Gummy Vitamins are not taken until stage 2 of my diet. I think at that time, it should be ok. 1 Jaime_Boston reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got beef and chicken stock so far. How are you prepping for surgery ? I think you'll be surprised how long 1 cup will last. It was quite a while before I could 'eat' more than an eighth of a cup at a time!!! It's wonderful!!! I never used stock or bouillon, I bought Campbell's Soup, added the can of Water, as directed, and strained it. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got beef and chicken stock so far. How are you prepping for surgery ? What a great idea! Way healthier (and tastier) than canned broth or boullion cubes! Not prepping myself just yet, but I should be getting a surgery date within the next few weeks and then my one month of liquid Protein diet begins. Although, I should take a cue from you and start making some homemade stocks. 1 Jaime_Boston reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 4, 2014 I also have a few friends who are making me their favorite stocks recipe. It's nice to have friends that support the decision and want to be a part of it. Pre-op testing tomorrow. And I'll get more info on which type of Vitamins to be taking. I'm pretty sure I'm overdosing on B12. Someone mentioned they take 1 time a week? I take two daily! 1000 mg!!

anxioustobethin 6 Posted March 4, 2014 You'll be given a meal plan that list the liquids. and Vitamins that you can have. If are not handed one, you may want to ask for one. 1 Jaime_Boston reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scylla 106 Posted March 5, 2014 My Nut said no gummy vitamins, as they don't have the same percentages of RDAs as chewables. Mine actually recommended the Costco/Kirkland brand children's Multivitamins. Similar to Flintstones chewable vitamins, much cheaper (and sold in bulk) but better RDAs in some things. She also said that I will need sublingual B-12 for after surgery and chewable calcium citrate tablets--she actually made up a schedule for me of when to take each Vitamin every day because apparently the multi-vitamins have to be taken at a different time than the Calcium citrate for best absorption. I don't recall the frequency on the B-12, but, yeah, I think it was once or twice a week. 1 Jaime_Boston reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
