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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
