Thanks for all the great suggestions and info, folks. This is why I love this forum - so many people willing to help and share!

I picked up some Citracal + D and some Centrum Multivitamins and will try the pills for now... neither are too big for my sleeve, I have been taking pills larger than both of them on surgeon's ok before now. Once these are gone I may switch to Celebrate Vitamins & calcium citrate, but for now I'm set.

You all are awesome!

Happy Friday to everyone!

Hi Bryn

The chewable Multivitamins were tolerable prior to surgery, but I couldn't do them afterwards. About day 6 post-op I called the nurse hotline. I was told to try swallowing the regular Multivitamin I had been taking prior. I did and it went down just fine. I have been swallowing them since. However, I did have some problems with the GIANT Calcium pills. I switched to the "petite" pills and they go down easier (ordered from Amazon). I also purchased the Calcet Creamy Bites and have one of those every night for "dessert." (Yummy).

My doc said at week 2 it was ok to swallow pills. Also could not stomach the Bariatric Advantage made me hurl. Went to Vitamin Shoppe and taste tested alot of chewables. Found one that went down fine. Got doc to look and he said they have alot of good stuff in them so OK. Also.....I find my Vitamins go down better in am with coffee....in afternoon I hurl. Try different times of day!

      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.
