Whey and Vitamins

Yesterday I went to GNC and got my whey powder (protein) and vitamins to start my pre-op on Saturday am bright and early. this is what I got:
...Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 (the protein shake powder)

...GNC Women's Ultra Mega powder, which provides all the vitamins but iron and is easily absorbed

...and Gentlesorb Iron one of these daily. This is in capsule form

...and a shake maker which looks like a small blender, to make real good smoothies with ice, fruits using the protein powder

I hope I explained all this right. I paid about $100 for everything but there's no "I can't afford it" when it comes to how you have to eat before and after WLS. Not if you want to stay healthy and keep your hair.I have waist-length hair that I have painfully and slowly grown over 3 years and if at all possible I want to hang on to it. There's nothing much more to commend me as I am so fat and sloppy looking. So please let me hang on to my hair at least,lol

I will make three shakes a day, using 1 scoop of powder and a cup of skim milk. It's vanilla powder so I can add things to it. I already tried the Women's vitamin powder. One scoop in 4 oz of water, and shake it up in a covered container. It tastes pretty good for what it is. I make this twice a day.
I also took a iron capsule this am, might as well try that too.

Tomorrow I will try out the miniature blender and see how that works because I will have to take one of those shakes to work with me for lunch on Saturday. I'm not worried about shakes because I've lost weight on them before. It's nice to know what you will eat and not have to worry about recipes and weighing, etc. The small meal will be a Lean Cuisine or something similar, just nuke it no problem.

OK now that I've made it sound so easy, I can admit that I don't know how it will all work out. So long as I lose weight for the surgery so that my liver can shrink as much as possible. Dr Pohl said the smaller the liver, the safer it is to get around it to put the band in.

All in all, I just want this to work. I am sick of being near 300lbs and it is time to move on and take care of my own health needs for a while. A person of normal weight has no idea what it is like to carry around so much weight, then feel lighter and lighter as the fat goes away. Then the good stuff like smaller sized clothes, improved mobility and knowing every lb you take off means better and better health
