Getting prepared

I would like to thank you all for sharing your wisdom and helping me know what to get to be prepared:


So far I have

CVS Brand [Centrum Silver] Buy one get one FREE Baby :]
Feosol Carbonyl Iron
Chewable Vitamin C
Dry D3
Biotin
B12 sublingual
Gas X strips
Papaya Enzymes
and
Milk of Magnesia

I still need to get my Citrical petites.

Are these what your dr recommended?  or what you have collected from others opinions?

My Dr. has not gone into detail about vitamins yet. I dont even have a date yet. Should be by the end of this year.
 
Ive collected this information from people on the board and Googled it to be sure. I will also discuss what I have and plan to use with my Dr before begining a regimine.

What is are papaya enzymes for?

Also, I see you have Feosol, for Iron, I was told not to take an iron tablet whole b/c it wouldn't be absorbed-unless I cru**** and put it in applesauce.  I plan on buying the Bariatric advantage Iron chews.

Also, since you haven't bought your Citrical yet, let me recommend the Bariatric Advantage Calcium Chews in caramel flavor-so yummy!

What surgery are you having?  Good luck to you!

Papaya enzymes are to help digest "stuck" food. I havent heard about having to crush our iron or take it in a chew. I will see what my Dr. says. The BA calcium chews in caramel sound yummy. I dont know if Ill be ordering anything through the mail yet. So far Ive been able to get everything I need at CVS. Im having the RNY.

A word of caution.  I'm almost 2 months out, and still cannot tolerate most pills.  Don't stock up too much until you know what you personally can tolerate.  I also developed lactose intolerance, so I had to give away my initial purchase of protein powder.

All of the pills are chewable except for the iron carbonyl. As far as protein I picked up some Isopure RTD in grape crush and fruit punch to try. Im going to order the Isopure unflavored powder to add to food and make drinks with.
