I am phoning hospital secretary today, hopefully to get my date in July. I am starting to think about buying stuff for after the op like Protein Shakes etc all ready for when I come back from the hospital. Any recommendations for any particular product we can get here in UK

Thanks for the Protein recommendation.

Question: Were you prescribed any Vitamins or minerals BEFORE your operation?

@C2CFOREVER I take Vitamin tablets daily and have done for the past year or so and the consultant was very happy with that. I know there is a vast difference in what others do before their op so I can only go off what I am told. I was advised to carry on taking them and then once post op to take liquid Vitamins for the first few weeks. I have ordered Centrum Advance liquid, it's more expensive for the month than tablets (£20) but I guess I want to just make sure it goes down easily enough!

Hope this helps.

Im still waiting for my date. I have requested 21st July and I spoke to the medical secretary yesterday and I should know by Friday. Every time the phone or mobile rings I think " is this the phone call with my date" I will be glad to know.

I have ordered a nutribullet blender today as I think it will be one of the things I will need. Starting to make a list now!

@@chrisredjeep I have that blender too and it's excellent. Once I'm back from holiday I will start stocking up on things I will need post op. You will be in two days before I go in .... so not long now :-)

[chrisredjeep 357]
