There's a packet of powder you mix with a glass of Water that just has Vitamin C (which often can prevent colds) in it but the same company now also offers multi Vitamin or other supplements in the same packet of powder form.

Plus...in the same form (packet of powder, mix with water and drink), there's a packet designed by a school teacher for this exact purpose! It's called AirBorne. Google it! You can get lemonade flavored packets measured to mix with a small bottled water for convenience.

1 Airborne Packet equals:

1,000 mg of Vitamin C

High in Antioxidants (Vitamins A,C, and E)

Excellent Source of Zinc and Selenium

350 mg of Herbal Blend including Echinacea and Ginger

Good luck!

I think that those bubbles devolve the Vitamins but after sitting for a minute they are all gone. Swansons vitamins online also offer a bariatric line of liquid and chewables. Their other chewables are good too. Reasonable priced at top quality. I'd suggest some coq10 also.

If you let carbonated drinks sit out, they lose most of the carbonation.

Me too! Got my band in June, I've had strep, pneumonia and recently the shingles! But same as you I shipped my vitimans too, and every time I get the horrible pain in my arm from the shingles, I regret not taking them! So I've started taking them again!

Someone recently told me that Amway now offers some liquid vitamins. They come in a little plastic vial you snaps spout into a glass of Water. Has anyone tried them?

Argh...I wish I could edit a post if I spot typos after it's posted. Oh well :-)

Should have been, "They come in a little plastic vial you snap open into a glass of water."

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
