They usually don't have Iron, which you need. Check with the nutritionist.

I take flintstones chewables, none of the gummies have Iron. I wish they did cause they taste better.

My Dr. told me that gummies don't have iron... He recommended that I take liquid Revive Mulit and Liquid Revive Calcium... Essentials is another one. You can get them from either Vitamin World or Vitamin Cottage... For Vitamins they both taste great... Too bad I can't find ones that taste like candy...

same thing here... the nutritionist said she won't even give her kids the gummies because of the no Iron in them. She told me to take 2 flintstones chewables a day and I'd be good.

I also just found Citrical petites... it's the right kind of Calcium (citrate NOT carbonate... viactiv isn't the kind your body can easily absorb unfortunately) and I can swallow them! I can't swallow the regular sized citrical... and chewable calcium citrate from the health food stores are too expensive.

I take Centrum chewables. If you're post menopausal, you might not need extra Iron. Call the doc's office and ask them what you should be taking.

I am taking a Women's One a Day Breast and Bone Health. I have to break them in half and take them.

      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.
