I didn’t know I could do chewables. I’ve seen people taking liquid supplements right after surgery and I asked the dr about it and he said we would discuss it right before surgery but I’m trying to be prepared. What did you take?

Who doing your surgery? You will be giving everything you need to know on the 5, my time schedule is the same as your. There is plenty of turkey and chicken bones around start saving them to make chicken broth you be sip on that for the next 2 weeks, propel Water, lemon or lime water, plenty of water and Protein Drink with very-very low sugar there a list they going to give you, it’s called a liver shrinking diet. This is to reduce the size of your liver. Follow it to the letter. We’re here waiting for the next journey.

My surgeons office sells Bariatric Advantage products at a discounted rate. So I used all their stuff

Bariatrac advantage chewables twice a day

Bariatrac advantage black cherry sublingual B12 once a day

Bariatrac advantage calcium citrate chewables 500mg twice a day

I don't use their Protein Powder because it's overpriced taste bad and makes me sick. But those 3 products are all tasty, easy to take, and designed specifically for bariatric patients.

I'm very happy and would recommend any of them, plus it's exactly what my surgeon prefers us using so it's a win win

      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.

      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.
