My surgeon said to get chewable. Centrum makes one and best choice too. I would worry the Gummy would get stuck. They are a little chalky much not that bad. He also had me get chewable Calcium. Your surgeon should have given you a list.

I have never tried gummies before. I just know my surgeon said chewable but I guess Gummy is chewable too? And they actually taste good?

They are delicious! And like highland said I take mine after my evening meal and it's like a treat! Yum. I have to take four gummies and there are four flavors so sometimes I eat one of each and feel like I'm eating a smidge of candy. Yes, I know it's silly. But whatever. It makes my mind happy!

Darn...i got a few liquids and 2 chewables. It looks like there is a good variety of gummys so Ill have to get them next time. I need a really good probiotic in a chewable, liquid, or Gummy but havent found one yet. Right now (not banded till Thursday) I have an 80 billion probiotic. I love my probiotic and need to do some research for a comparable one.

I also didnt find any liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen...do you take childrens liquid but more of it or something? Or do they just not sell liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen at Walmart (where I went). Thanks guys for your help.

I got liquid Tylenol at Wal-Mart. I also know that I've seen it at every grocery store around here. However, I bought a whole bottle and never used it. I either took my prescribed pain pills or just learned that the pain wasn't that bad and dealt with it. Also, I didn't get liquid pain medicine. They just gave me pills which would have been the same size as Tylenol pills.

I also NEVER used my liquid tylenol. You actually buy children's and take the adult dose if you decide you want it. I had very little, if any, pIn after my surgery. The right shoulder gas pain was the most bothersome and walking is the only answer for that! Best wishes on your surgery!

probiotic pearls are small enough to swallow. I have been taking those from the start.

I have found the adult liquid tylenol at Walmart, once. The other two times I've tried to find it, they've been sold out. I know Walgreens and probably Rite Aid also sell a generic acetaminophen.

I would say chewable or liquid is best. I've had issues with Gummy things!

      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.
