It was suggested to start taking the probiotics prior to surgery and a multivitamin.

Which do you suggest ?

Good idea and you might want to start adding vitamin D3 and protein as well. Our community is notoriously low on D3. Have you had any labs drawn yet?

What Gina said.

Multi, D3 and bone up on protein now.  I'm not talking gulping down protein drinks.  Eat more meat and start cutting back at least simple carbs.

Good to know about D3. I had labs drawn when I first asked for the surgery. All was normal, cholesterol a couple points high.

I already cut out carbs at the start of Aug. trying to eat under 50g a day. Mainly eating protien. That's what helped me loose 27# so far .
