I use chewable vitamins. I have the Bariatric Advantage brand from the doctor's office or you can get them on line. Today I was told I need more Vitamin D, the one I take doesn't have enough in them. Ask your dietitian what you need. She was the one who gave me the list.

Good luck. Bring a magazine.

i got chewable Centrum, they are orange and horrible! My nutritionist said for her lapband patience you dont have to take liquid. She said she would even be happy with 2 Flinstones a day plus Calcium and Iron either chewable or crushed prior to consuming. The Vitamins are gonna vary based on what ur pre testing shows u might need. Ive read all over the place that gas-x strips are very helpful. So i went and picked some up today as well as a heating pad for after surgery! I also read that people had wished they had brought a bottle of Water for after surgery car ride. Good luck!

      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.
