Hi lorraineL. All the best for your exciting journey . X

 

[kissthetoad]

Been shopping today and found some liquid multivitamins. I've also got some chewable centrum fruity multivitamins but has anyone heard of Floradix? It's got to be kept in the fridge and lasts four weeks. Also, I'm starting my preop diet on thurs and wondered if anyone knew any other shakes other than slim fast I could try as they're quite sweet? x

 

[DippyDeb]

Kissthetoad i am using Tescos own and have found them fine. Where did u get your liquid vitamins from?

 

[Crystalrainbow]

Toad i just got the childs chewable tesco's ones nurse confirmed they were good enough with band

 

[kissthetoad]

I got the liquid multi from holland and Barrett. She called it a "tonic" lol.

 

[kissthetoad]

Yes I need to get to peskies (tescos) for some of those shakes

 

[DippyDeb]

Well i have done three days on tescos shakes and its not been as bad as i thought.. But two weeks today i will be post op ! Eeeks

 

[kissthetoad]

Eeks lol. It's all getting real now. Need to get to peskies and get me some shakes. Not long now. Aarrgggh x

 

[kissthetoad]

Dippy are you drinking plenty of water too? And taking multivitamins too? X

 

[DippyDeb]

Yes, but i take most of my water in ginger or mint tea. .... !

 

[kissthetoad]

Dippy you put fresh ginger in a mug of water? Enlighten

 

[DippyDeb]

No i buy little sachets from the local Caribbean shop .. And just add hot water. Its great for lots of things. Ginger is a great benefit to the body.., or so the experts say ! Lol

 

[kissthetoad]

Funny you mention it. Saw something recently about the benefits of ginger. Adding that to my
List . Not sure where I'm gonna find it though :/ lol.

 

[DippyDeb]
