Sounds like your program is more like mine. Best of luck and let us know your you're doing!

We got this! I’m excited/nervous…there’s got to be a word for that. Excivous? Nervited? Anyway, good luck!

LOL, my vote is for "nervited". Excivous sounds more like what happens when your surgeon gets in a hurry!

Anyway, whatever it's called, I'm sure we're all feeling it!

I started on the pre-op diet on Wed so this just my third day. I get 2-3 Protein Shakes, 3 oz lean meat, and 2 cups veggies per day. I want to try this: 2 cups ice, 1 vanilla Protein Shake and 1 single packet of sf orange drink. Sounds and looks good on the video. She used a Ninja Bullitt.

So are you hungry or is that enough to fill you up? That drink does sound yummy

I’m going to do the grocery part closer to the date. But I’m doing research and which Vitamins I want. It’s so hard to pick. My doctor gave recommendations but still hard 😂. Which are you guys planning to take. My date is the 9/12

I actually bought several different Vitamins, from several different companies, and in a few different forms (capsules, chewables, soft chews). I've heard some people have issues with one or the other post-surgery. I'd rather have them now so I have choices if I end up needing them. I figure eventually, I'll be able to use them, even if I can't stomach some of them early on. I doubt I'll waste entirely them unless they are just really terrible.

One thing I have not done is compare standard off-the-shelf vitamins to these supposed bariatric ones. I really want to know if there's a difference?
