Does anyone know if Bassetts chewable Multivitamins are good enough for sleevers?

I'm two weeks away from the big day and stocking up. I'm a Brit actually living in Singapore but as there is no support here, I hope you don't mind me following the Brit sleevers group.

I'm getting a friend to bring me any stuff I need from the UK (Boots/ Holland & Barrett). Is there anything else I need to stock up on ?

Thanks for your advice.

I use the Centrum chewable Multivitamins, sorry I don't know about the Bassetts ones are OK. I don't buy anything else particularly special to be honest.

Good luck with your surgery and let us know how things are going for you ????

I was "done" on We'd. The first day was rough but I've been fine since. I'm having no probe with getting the liquids in but hate the Protein shakes. Anyone found a nice one ? Or other way to get Protein in the first stage. I am hungry though and really missing food. I know it's probably head hunger and acid reflux but I can't wait to get to the soft food phase so I can have a bit more.

I'm hating the Protein shakes. Is it possible to get your 60g of Protein in when you move to real food without boosting with Protein Shakes or Protein powder. I can't stand either. I'm concerned about the quantity of meat eggs you can manage. Do any of you not touch shakes etc and have still lost weight ?

Hey all, Holland and Barratt do a standard chocolate milk and egg Protein that is the best one I've found. I absolutely hate hate hate the taste of sweeteners and this one doesn't taste like that at all. Even better, mix it with a teaspoon of raw cacao powder (full of antioxidants), a tablespoon of Peanut Butter powder (low in calories and ups your Protein even further), a few slices of frozen banana (great for the potassium levels) and finished with almond milk (antioxidants) and that, my bariatric friends, is a delicious chunky monkey milkshake!! Does not taste like crappy protein shakes, tastes like a treat - gives you a sweet hit without any sugar or sweetener. A great way to get in your Protein and up your calories a little during those all important first few weeks!

My NUT told me to make my own Protein Shake so I'm using Crusha which is sugar free, Almond milk and Protein Powder. OMG it's amazing!! The vanilla Crusha tastes like vanilla ice cream!!

Ooh @@facebro29 I love Crusha! I didn't know what was sugar free. I'm going to try the strawberry one...

Yes it's lush. Some of them aren't sugar free but the ones I bought are from Asda and Tesco which are sugar free.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
