Go back in the discussion list to Oct 29 - Amelia79 has a youtube talking about what she bought that has great info.

From what I recall you'll need sublingual B-12, biotin, and a chewable multivitamin (maybe more, I can't recall). If you're looking for protein shakes, Amelia mentions one brand in her video, or go to unjury.com - they have some good ones and you can buy samples to taste the various flavors (20 g protein, 2-6 g carbs per serving).

Thanks for the advice, I just want to have everything prepared this week so I can then concentrate on my surgery date.

That's such a good idea. I think it helps focus the nervous energy we all have to be doing something to prepare. Good luck!!!

Walmarts Body Fortress is good too and it comes in vanilla and chocolate. it has only 2 grams of carbs so it can be mixed with milk to keep it palatible. Just keep card under 40 grams and you will loose like you already had the surgery. I lost 25 preop. I am down a total of 40 since I started. had my surgery 10/23.
