[GetInMyBelly 80]

I mentioned this yesterday but now I really am frustrated n need clear answers. Thanks:

I cannot take this Bariatric Advantage stuff anymore! All of it making me gag.

Please fill in the blank of what's good n easy to get down of the following:

Preop Protein shake-

Iron pill-

Multivitamin-

Vitamin d-

Calcium-

B-12-

[Foxbins 625]

Preop Protein shake-Premier Protein Shake from Costco-Chocolate is good

Iron pill- Sundown Naturals Perfect Iron-I ordered mine on Amazon. It's carbonyl iron and doesn't upset my stomach

Multivitamin- Centrum Chewables-Eat something, chew and swallow the Vitamin, eat some more. I can't take them on an empty stomach but "sandwiching" between food works.

Vitamin d- Nature Made 1000 I.U. I take one each day.

Calcium-ReViva calcium citrate liquid from Costco.com. 1 Tbsp = 500 mg. However, too much gives you the runs, so I am still looking for a chewable that's tolerable. Vitacost.com is not too expensive but really sweet. I chew them up with two almonds at the same time and that helps to cut the sweetness. I tried the BA chocolate chewables and they are disgusting.

B-12- Sublingual, 2500 mcg. twice a week. Any kind is fine, I buy mine from Walmart as they dissolve fast.

Hope this helps.

[Soon2BMiniMommy 92]

Let me know how it tastes! I've been eyeballing it for months, but afraid to buy in large quantities in case I don't like it!

Thamk you. I'll get the costco shake today!

I'm totally dependent on the costco Premier Protein Shakes; have it for Breakfast every day. They're supposed to be starting a promotion and carrying their vanilla flavor starting this week! Hope it's as good as the chocolate.< /p>

Preop Protein shake- Slim Fast

Iron pill- Is in the Multivitamin. No need for extra

Multivitamin- Centrum chewable (w/iron)

Vitamin d- Is in the Calcium. No need for extra

Calcium- Calcuim Citrate with 600 mg of Vitamin D - GNC

B-12- from GNC

[ShellBear 26]

I tried the BA Multi and it made me so sick. With the Centrum chewable multi, it takes care of the Iron too. I do take the BA Calcium chewey bites but I am really tired of those as well. This Vitamin thing is definitely tough.

Preop Protein shake- I finally found one I can stomach. Its the body fortress vanilla and I add a spoon of cheesecake pudding mix to it or some sugar free caramel Syrup. I hated all Protein shakes before. I also mix it with milk and it is totally doable.

Iron pill- I take a chewable flintstones with iron twice a day!

Multivitamin- Flintstones with iron

Vitamin d- I bought a vitamin d pill at Walmart. Its small and is Fluid filled and easy to swallow.

Calcium- I chew a viactiv caramel a day. Its the best Calcium for people who are prone to kidney stones.

B-12- I bought the sublingual one at walmart and it melts under your tongue.. its good! l like a peice of candy.< /p>

Seems like the Walmart b-12 is popular. Thanks for all the tips. It's going to b hard to run around to different places for all the good things. :0/ but it's bettee than the BA stuff I'm sure.

I hated the BA Iron chewable after surgery.. It was so TART! I cant hardly stand it so I got some multis with Iron in them for that.

I'm supposed to b having 6 shakes a day. I'm only doing 3. U guys think this is really bad? I just can't down more. Bit I drink h2o too

[Felicia 28]

It depends on how much Protein you're getting I think. If you can't stomach more than 3 shakes a day make sure you are getting at least 60g of Protein when ur drinking those 3 shakes. At least thats the requirements thru my office. I can either do 4 shakes a day or 2 shakes a day and a small meal with meat and non-starchy veggies. Only things I can eat all day otherwise is non-caloric liquid. (water, broth, SF Jello, SF popsicles)

Anyways I am so glad you posted this again because I tried creating the same post and no one answered me LOL. And you and I both tried in that other post and still no answers. Glad you finally got some help, cuz it helped me too!

Also last night I went to GNC and I am about to try their Wheyabolic shakes. I have chocolate vanilla and Cookies and cream I will let you know how they are because like you I am so sick of my shakes it's getting hard to drink them anymore.

Thank u yes please let me know. I appreciate it!! ;0) good luck!!!

So those shakes I mentioned are pretty okay tasting. For me the bad thing is they are only 4 ounces big, for you that may be a good thing. They are also pretty thin, like drinking consistency of Water. I like mine a little thicker than that. Overall I think I will keep them, but I was definetly hoping for a better product. JSYK. Also, if you don't mind if you find one you love let me know cuz as you can tell I'm having a rough way to go with this Protein shake thing. Thanks! Good Luck!

Thank u yes please let me know. I appreciate it!! ;0) good luck!!!
