My doctor approves flinstone Complete chewables with an additional chewable Calcium. They cost about $15 for 150 tablets, a 75 day supply. I compared the ingredients with some bariatric Vitamins I initially bought and they're about the same. The bariatric vitamins cost me over $30 for a one month supply.

all my md was make sure chewable, target or Walmart should carry some. I heard someone say costco has some good chocolate chewable ones.

I use the Centrum chewable ones, orange, not the yummiest, but with a drink of h2o after, tolerable. I think I'm going to switch to the flinstone ones, though, LOL. I also take sublingual B12 (2-4 tabs a day), and Calcium and Vitamin D, oh and Biotin.< /p>

Costo has a liquid high potency daily Vitamin. It's very affordable, and liquid so there's no issue with getting it down. Plus it has lots of Fiber. I actually like the taste. it comes in a two pack for less than $20. Lasts several months.

My doctor recommended flinstone Multi chewable with Choline; I buy the costco brand which is much cheaper (exact same thing). Vitafusion has both fiber and Vitamin D chewables; fiber I get at Costco and D at Walmart or drugstore.com. Caltrate (calcium + D) large bottle at Walmart (I have low D levels so I take a lot)

I been buying Flintstones COMPLETE with CHOLINE for almost 6 years now. I have tried the off brands, and they just don't have the pick me up that the Flintstones do. I know this from feeling tired, and bruising.

You can go to the Flintstones Web Site, and print off a coupon, then look for some sales, and save money.

Just remember: It must be there COMPLETE/CHOLINE or it won't really work well.

I do 3 a day, and I feel great.

Get back if you need to.

Shirley.

      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.
