Preparing for surgery!

I am looking for any and all pre-op advice. I have surgery date set for Aug. 8. And I have to buy supplements and any other supplies I will need following surgery. Please advice me. Especially on anything in particular you liked. I don't do well with my vitamins as it is. They make me naseous. So I am worried about the supplements. Please give me some advice. I need your help. I would also appreciate all of your prayers. Thanks in advance.

I found the atkins protein drink to be acceptable it has 15g protein and onlt 1g of sugar plus all the vitimans By the way my surgery is on the 2 of Aug I have been trying different things Good Luck

I found that the flintstone chewable vitamins worked well for me. I couldnt swallow my regular one a days for the first couple of months. Hope this helps Carollee

What you like pre-op you may not like post-op... its hard to buy stuff before hand before you taste changes! I would just get the smallest possible of supplements so you can try them post op... if you get naseous you may want to look for liquid supplements. All surgeons/NUTs differ on what you are suppose to take so wed need to know what they told you to take then could give suggestions on what brands we use.

Gennie; It doesn't matter what I liked post-op. We're all different and our tastes change during the process. Unfortunately, it's trial and error the first 3 months or so post-op to find the right things that work for you. Read lots of profiles. It will give you good expectations for post-op. Prayers for a complication-free procedure and speedy recovery. Blessings, Jennifer 253 / 159 / 137

Hey everyone! My sugery is scheduled for 7/24!! I purchased Centrum childrens chewables (u only have to take one a day instead of using flintstones twice a day) they have EVERYTHING you need (according to my Nutritionist (Duke WLS, NC) and it's only once a day. They do have the adult chewables that are orange flavor but I havent tried those yet...I'm still trying to locate the calcium citrate chewables for my 3 week post-op...any suggestions?
