Hi everyone and Welcome.

My surgery is November 7th. I am on a low calorie and very low fat (less than 30 g). I am able to pick 4 milk, 2 vegetable, 2 fruit, 2 starch and 4 meat servings each day. I have pre-op test October 30th. What Protein Shakes have you tried that is good? And what Vitamins have you tried that is good also?

so I have tried the ensure high Protein chocolate, it is pretty good, I just got my priemer Protein Shakes to try, but it doesn't look like you are required to do the Meal Replacement shake pre surgery so I think you are able to move on to the post surgery type shakes that are not Meal Replacements, like Unjury and protein Water?

As far as Vitamins are concerned all depends on your levels for example I will have to take extra Vitamin D right off the bat... but I will tell you they told us as a general rule and for the beginning we could do a flinestone, and then when we move on they suggested opurity orange berry bariatric sleeve Multivitamin and then take our remaining Calcium and Iron if needed. I just ordered mine 90 day supply was 29.00 so not awful I thought.

Hi November sleepers my date is 11/19/18 my question is this I got my pre surgical testing date have anyone attended and what to expect

Hi There- my presurgical testing was to go over procedure, sign some forms ask questions, and go over medical history. Then they looked at my last labs and ordered some updated ones. I think it lasted about 20 minutes because I had a lot of questions lol.

You got this, I was hoping that day 4 would be easier for you! my husband keeps saying it will all be worth it... lol I know he is right but at the moment I am just going day by day! I am fearing the weekend because I don't want to too much downtime to focus on my hunger you know?
