Cateyez001 28 Posted September 2, 2017 I'll be doing a 2 week liquid diet but my surgeons office provides the shakes. That's awesome that they cover the cost of the shakes I didnt ask and they didn't mention it. I'm going to call them on Tuesday. I just bought 2 things of preimer shakes because it was so much cheaper then the Bariatric Advantage. I'm trying to locate somw inexpensive liquid vitamins for the first month. Have you found any?Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amyemer 4 Posted September 2, 2017 I haven't looked for any Vitamins yet but I think I'll be starting on what my drs office has. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lysbelle 10 Posted September 3, 2017 I could use an online friend(s) too (I'm in NC)- my surgery is September 26th. I'm getting both excited and nervous! If anybody has Vitamin advice, I could also use them! I know Walmart sells liquid vitamins, but I'm not sure how good they are for surgery. I think it has alcohol in it to make them liquid. I know that Centrum makes Vita-Mints that are melting- I just need to compare stats to make sure it has everything needed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALotLessMe 17 Posted September 8, 2017 Good luck on Wednesday!!! I'm having RNY. I did it!!! Gastric Bypass was done yesterday morning. Spent last night in hospital and tonight I'm in my own bed. I won't lie, there is some pain but seems to be well managed with meds. Getting in and out of bed is the worst! Any movement hurts but today it is better than yesterday and I'm hopeful that continues. I passed swallow test and was told that if I tolerate clears tomorrow I can add shakes to full liquid diet.
