Oh ok, I got to choose my own. I was given a list of what I needed as far as how many grams of Iron, Calcium. But the chewable Multivitamin I found is HUGE!!!! I got a pill cutter yesterday to break it up.

They gave me the Iron plus the Calcium we get them free here

We have to have them in liquid form for a month do you ?

I had to buy my own. I found some dissolving ones, but they weren't a match to how much of each I needed. I would have been taking so many of them a day. I have to do chewable or dissolving. powder and liquid would be best to get directly in the blood stream. But it's not required.

Awww, no need to freak out. I just won't have help when I get home, so I'm preparing for after as well. I won't have anyone to run to the store if I need anything. And I wanted to have it all in one area, so I won't be rumbling thru cabinets looking for broth and noodles, lol. Good luck with your surgery

Oh and about the shakes, I have to be on 2 a day, before and after surgery. So that's a months supply for me on the shelf. costco had them on sale so I saw it as a blessing from God and got 3 cases. I also have 2 different flavors of vegan Protein powder to add to them if my taste does change. I also bought some zero cal Water Enhancer made with stevia to add flavor to the unsweetened applesauce

@@Aleathia, well, day 1 liquids in the bank, and man, it works! LOL. -5 lbs! I'm sure it's just Water weight if I were to go back to eating "normally," but who wants to do that!

I kept really busy yesterday and was pretty happily surprised I wasn't *too* hungry/distracted. I hear after day 3 it's much easier.

How are you finding it?

I haven't weighed myself yet, will weigh tonight before work. But being at work all night is a struggle. I use to eat out of boredom. So I did find myself getting a Lil hungry, but I pushed thru. Drinking my vanilla shake with a Lil coffee added so I can go home and clear my closet. I just slept after work yesterday. Congrats on the 5 lbs

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! Don't forget to take chapstick with you. I read that your mouth gets very dry and your lips may start to crack. Praying everything goes well

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
