different doctors different stories different requirements. Crazy. My best friend didn't have to do any nutrition meetings, and really wasn't told half the things I have been told! I found some Centrum chewables that have everything the nutritionist said I need. They are orange flavor and I DON"T LIKE THEM. I chew it up a bit and then take a drink of Water, but then you have the stuff stuck in your teeth and then I burb this nasty taste all day! I haev another kind a wafer chewable I got at GNC I am waiting to try. I am just trying to force down these others till then!!

I take Centrum chewable for my Multi-Vitamin and Citracal Petites for my calcium citrate. I was taking the Bariatric Advantage Calcium citrate chews, but I ran out and didn't have time to mail order them. So, the dietician said I could disolve the Citracal pills in my Water. I did that once and then took a chance and decided to just swallow the pills. I was pleasantly surprised that I can take them even though the petites are still pretty large. I can feel them sitting in my pouch as they disolve, but it doesn't hurt at all. And, its much faster to take and cheaper than the chews.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
