Yay! You will do just fine.

So much to do and buy and prepare! What did you all buy before your surgerry for the 1st 2 weeks?
I already have my Flinstone vitamins which are only for the first 4 weeks. I have samples of UNJURY, havent tried any yet. Figure I need to buy the Bariatric Advantage vitamins for after 4 weeks. The calcium chews, crystal light, refried beans, applesauce, eggs, soups I can puree, ricotta and cottage cheeses.
Any other ideas? Thanks, I am so FREAKIN EXCITED!!!!

my suggestion is don't buy too much of anything for after the surgery. Your taste buds change completely! Or at least mine did, and I know several others did as well. With crystal light, I couldn't drink anything with lemon in it (i think it might have been the acid content****il I was 2+ mo out. the protein I was drinking on my pre-op diet, I couldn't drink (I think I out did it).
congrats on getting your surgery moved up!
