I take the Swiss Vitamins for women, they are a capsule, I have good restriction now and they go down fine, nutritionist advised a teaspoon if yogurt to make them slippery and go through the band, also take Biotin daily.

I went big time money and oredered from Bariatric Choice off internet and all the flavors sucked and tasted terrible. Went to my doctor and asked if I could take the following and he said absolutely.

Walmart sells One a Day Vitacraves (gummies) and Vitafusion Calcium. I'm not telling you to take one or two each time because that information will come from your doctor or dietitian. Some will have to take additional vitamins/minerals/iron supplements.

costco also sells One a Day Vitcraves (big discount and twice the size than Walmart)

Good luck

GNC has liquid women's multi Vitamin. Love it, but taste is eww. Much like children's chewable. I think they gave a men's also.

      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.
