I just got the s.f. gummies I'm going to try them out. My surgeon says chewable for life because of how short the intestine is now there's a chance the Vitamin won't dissolve enough to absorb.I was told only chewables for the first 3 months. Thank goodness. I had the Bariatric Advantage ones and they were so gross. I stay away from the gummies...they have sugar and some have up to 50 calories. No thanks!

What is sips
Hi Family, I am 9 days post-op SIPS procedure. I've lost 14 pounds and I've actually grown to love my protein shakes! I use EAS vanilla and it tastes really good mixed with Water. Good luck on your procedure and you will not be sorry!I had RNY gastric bypass surgery whereas you had gastric sleeve. I take a lot of Vitamins and will do so for the rest of my life. But only one of my Vitamins was a chewable. I was also told do not use the gummy vitamins. So you may want to check with your nutritionist before you make that change.
After surgery, I lost the ability to swallow anything medium to large, so most of my vitamins either had to be split or crushed in order to swallow them. After about 2 months this problem went away and I regained my ability to swallow.
From my perspective all Protein shakes taste terrible. But after surgery I had to take them because the Protein that I consumed from food was so minuscule that my body would be damaged if I didn't. Your protein daily requirement is met by a combination of the protein obtained from protein supplements combined with the protein from meals. As my meal volume increased (over the next 1 1/2 years), I was able to decrease my reliance on Protein Shakes because I concentrated on consuming high protein meals. I went from 3 protein shakes a day, down to 2, then down to 1 and finally none. The important point here is you don't have to like your protein supplement; you just have to tolerate it. I used Muscle Milk Light (Vanilla Creme) blended with Water and added a half a banana to give it better flavor.

That's why I picked it just wanted to hear it from a real patientSorry, they should be visible in my signature right under each post. Maybe you can't see the link unless you're on a tablet or computer.
The weight loss has been good. That, eating and maintaining are part of the beauty of the DS.

So how has the weight loss been with the d.s. long term I haven't ever talked to anyone who had it done a while ago?Hello to a new DSer.
First let me say I only took chewables for the first few months or so. After that it was 2 regular multis a day. (Of course, along with a whole lot of other vits and minerals).
Personally, I didn't care for unjury. However, many do so it's probably worth trying.
Since I couldn't eat enough for the first 2 years, I drank one shake a day. I didn't love them but they were palatable. I used Muscle Milk and Myloplex. They came in 4 packs and were premade. So I never had to use powder or mix anything.

I actually had the duodenal switch which is why the chewable Vitamin for life statement. I was hoping someone knew of a tasty Protein Drink I'm at the point where I dread it. Have you tried the unflavored and added to crystal light? Just asking because the tubs aren't cheap and I currently have 4 taking up space in the kitchen that aren't palatable.I had RNY gastric bypass surgery whereas you had gastric sleeve. I take a lot of Vitamins and will do so for the rest of my life. But only one of my Vitamins was a chewable. I was also told do not use the gummy vitamins.

My nutritionist says the most important thing we need is niacin some of the ones I've looked at do not have that and also I read somewhere else that someone ended up back in the hospital because of Flintstone vit.

I am 1 week post op from my d.s. overall doing well staples came out yesterday down 27 total pounds since I began the preoperative diet. Having a tough time with not stretching and lifting I was feeling so good I tried to do housework and I'm back to day one. Also the Vitamins and Protein are gross and advice on a better tasting alternative sine we're chewable for life. Thanks in advance.

I looked everywhere for it today it's unflavored Water?By the way, surgery went well. First two hours were rough but I got up and got moving. It really paid off. I was doing laps by the third hour and walking every two hours. No nausea whatsoever. Also found Atkins Lift Protein drink at Wal-Mart. Water with 20g of protein!
