I didn't like any of the ones mentioned above. My husband uses Opti-Source, which isn't the most recommended, but they don't taste awful. I can't stomach those either. I am currently taking Gummy One a Day's as it is all I can take. Someday, I hope to take the ones they recommend, which are called, Fushion. Until then, it's gummies for me!

For Vitamin with Iron I use the Flintstone Complete It has Iron. NOt wild about the taste but is one a day anyway. For Calcium I have been taking VitaFusion Calcium 500 mg Gummy - I take two at a time 3 times a day. For B-12 I found it cheaper to get a vial from the pharmacy. There is a 10 month supply and I inject myself. NO biggie. The cost for the B12 is about $11.00 for a 10 month supply and about 20 cents for each syringe.

I am a huge fan of Celebrate chewables, actually kind of yummy! I have also tried Bariatric Fusion's chewables; they are pretty good too but Celebrate tastes better and has much higher levels of everything we need. Hope that helps!

Is that a calcium citrate gummy? or calcium carbonate? I really need calcium. I can't stomach the Bariatric Advantage ones.

I got some of the Opti-Source at Walgreen's the other day just to try... I've been enjoying my One-A-Day gummies (I take 2 a day), but the Opti-Source has higher levels of stuff for bariatric surgery patients, and I think they're okay. I got the citrus flavor, and it tastes sort of like Tang from when I was little. They're not Gummy, but they're chewable, and I can't taste any of that nasty stuff most chewables have (is that the B Vitamins that taste so gross?). These are okay.

      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.
