I use Bariatric Advantage chewable Calcium, you can order online. If you set up a monthly auto shipment, there is no shipping charge. The lemon is great. I shop around on the Internet for my Multivitamin. Right now I am taking the Centrum chewable bursts. They are like little jawbreaker balls, but soft after the first crunch. I take a b complex, but no added Iron. Look at drugstore.com, Walmart, Walgreens and CVS. They all run Vitamin specials. You can get the non chewable of most things in a small pill too, you just have to hunt for them. I do like the calcium and multi chewables though.

Unjury makes a band-formulated chewable multivitamin. I have a bottle on order but honestly feel like I'm flying blind with the Vitamins. I agree with the precious statements about Bariatric Advantage Calcium chewables. chocolate is also very good.

those Vitamins aren't so great! anything really works. go to a GNC or VitaWorld get some chewable... it's all the same. just some are more pricey! Good luck on your journey!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
