Ok, I'm actually one of those that LOVES Jello. Sugar free is a bit over sweet, but it helps with my craving for fruit (not allowed on our diet). But I am craving something creamy. And I have not gotten an answer yet. Are you guys putting a spoonful of cool whip on your jello every now and then? I just lost 12 pounds, I'd love a treat. :)

I see him this afternoon. I'm making a list of questions for him. I never received anything that tells me what I'm supposed to be doing. I feel like I'm barely treading water now.

I do! You should check with your surgeon for her recommendations, though.

Benefiber is soluble fiber to firm up your stool and miralax is a laxative to keep things moving.

benefiber, or miralax, is this a protein as well?

Unjury makes an unflavored protein powder that many like. It's not flavorless, like benefiber, or miralax, but you can add it to things like soups or other soft foods to up the protein.

I keep reading about protein powders and how they are tasteless and can be used in anything. Where can I find these powders? Also, where can I find recipes to make my own protein shakes? Thanks

Your water is way too low - try to get at least 64 ounces a day.

It would help to know a little about you and your surgery, and where you are at right now with your ferritin levels. You want your ferritin levels to be above 180-200 ideally. I've had RNY, and I use VIta4Life Multi-Plus formula. My surgeon swears by these products, and I've been using these multivitamins for years due to his recommendation and I've never had any lab results come back poorly. I once had a vitamin D result that was low, but that was easily fixed with additional supplements for 6 months. I take 2 in the AM, 2 at lunch, and 2 in the PM. Not knowing anything about you, it's hard to tell you how much iron you should get and really, no one but your doctor is qualified to tell you that but, you can't go wrong by trying these out. I wish you all the best! Here's the link to what I take. http://www.amazon.com/Vita4life-Bariatric-Multivitamins-Mult i-plus-Formula/dp/B008A0INO2/
