Hey everyone! I have a quick question. I've called around to a few stores and I'm having trouble finding prenatal chewable vitamins. I'm not pregnant, but I know that these Vitamins have ALOT of the minerals/nutrients that women need. Has anyone seen them around? I've seen the gummies, but my doctor said to not take them because they don't have all the minerals in them as chewables do.

I've had this conversation with my doctor before, basically what they told me is the normal Gummy vites (NOT with any extras!) you just take two instead of one. Or, you can even do the flinstone/kids ones as well (same thing, just take two).

My OB told me to take Flintstones chewables with Iron as a prenatal. Works fine - and so much easier for me to take with the lapband. I also have to take a DHA supplement, and that is a big pill for me - am looking for a liquid or chewable form of that one, if anyone knows of any. Thanks!

      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.
