I really like the optimum nutrition double rich chocolate whey Protein Shake mix. I get it off Amazon. I have it with either almond milk out reg milk but I take enzymes with reg milk cuz I am lactose intolerant. I found enzymes really helped me out in the first few months. Our tummies can be kinda sensitive at first:)

I use the Flintstone with Iron, natrol Biotin fast dissolve, natrol B12 fast dissolve, nature's plus chewable iron, nature made fast dissolve d3. Please do yourself a favor and get the biotin! It helped my Hair loss. Whenever I would stop taking it I would shed a stuffed animal.

I get it all from Amazon. :)

I would get different samples of Protein packets for your shakes. From your local Vitamin shops. And maybe order on from the bariatric shops. Cause our taste for everything changes after surgery. So what taste good now might not after.. As for vitamin Gastric bypass patients we have to take vitamin for the rest of our life's.. My doctor recommend's chewable. I take flintstones,bariatric advantage calcium citrate. Bariatric Advantage sublingual b12.. But your doctor should recommend what he wants you to take as far as vitamin.. I hope this helps and welcome to your new life.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
