Soozern 75 Posted July 16, 2015 I'm not nervous but maybe that will come later. I'm just really excited to have made the decision. Where are you having your op? Have you been given a pre-op diet yet? This is a journey I am really looking forward to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekah81015 16 Posted July 16, 2015 I am having my surgery in Orlando fl. I haven't been given my pre op diet yet. But I have already been kind of following it. I have two Protein Shakes then I eat dinner. Plus I go to the gym 4 days a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bekah81015 16 Posted July 17, 2015 Would be awesome if we could find someone with each day of the month. Just saying. Lol Is anyone else confused about what Vitamins to purchase and unflavored Protein powders as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KF2007 66 Posted July 17, 2015 I purchased the Celebrate multi Vitamin chewables. They have B12 in them so i wont have to take a seperate vitmain for that. And i bought the citrate Calcium chews too. I have to take 3 of the 500 mg chews a day to meet my goal, but they taste like candy so im ok with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekah81015 16 Posted July 17, 2015 Those are the ones I am thinking about doing. Plus I found a website that my insurance will pay for them What are you doing for Protein flavored or unflavored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KF2007 66 Posted July 17, 2015 Awesome if your insurance will pay!! They seem to be a good choice for Vitamins, kinda pricey, but worth it. I have a whey intolerance, so i have to be careful what Proteins i can do. My NUT approved muscle milk 100 calorie drinks and the mega Protein shakes for me. Those are pretty good! Ive tried Isopure, Nutrimed and a soy EAS powder and they were horrible. Ive heard good things about powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury but havent tried it. Syntrax nectar is a good brand if you need to switch up the flavors. They have a sample pack for like $20 online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleyk 31 Posted July 17, 2015 Hi August peeps;) I'll get my sleeve on the 24th. Yay yay yay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleyk 31 Posted July 17, 2015 I've been drinking Premier Protein premixed chocolate periodically. 30 grams Protein per shake 5 carbs but 3 Fiber so only 2 net carbs. 160 cal. Want to find unflovored to add to meals. I have a juicer. There are some older threads on here about juicing. I'm trying to lose preop and have just pulled it out recently to help. I found people out there that have lost crazy amount of weight crazy fast doing liquid/juicing. I've lost 54 lbs since end of jan and hope to continue to lose til Aug 24.
