I'm terrified of dumping again and I don't want to go wrong with the protein shakes. I mixed 1 cup of body fortress whey protein isolates with 1 cup light soy milk vanilla and cut it into 2 servings. Should this be ok? How do you make your shakes?

My surgery is Tuesday! So so close. I keep having these random crying spells thinking I'm going to die on the table. Am I normal? The doctor said it was less than 2 percent chance. But I'm do nervous.

Vitamin help

Where do you get your vitamins? I'm having trouble. My nutritionist told me to get chewable muntiviramin with iron. I can't even find that! Is vitamin D the same as D3? Is a gummy vitamin acceptable? I'm clueless!
