You're very welcome glad to hear that I have a sleeve buddy, I haven't started my Protein yet, plan on starting them tomorrow. My bowl moments are watery so for the TMI. But you will get there

Try 1st choice for energy liquid vitamins. I have had tons of luck with it. It foes make me flush for about 5 minutes when I get to the bottom of the bottle, probably b/c I'm not shaking it good enough! I found it cheapest on Walgreen's website

I ordered opurity from the same people who make powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein. I think it tastes good (berry) and its only one a day. Kinda expensive, but worth it.

I took those presurgery but post surgery they make me gag.. they are too huge.. and taste like sour candy to me.. i had to switch to Centrum liquid.. for now.. i just want to take it and be done with it..it took me 15 minutes of chewing those Vitamins.. lol

For what it's worth I use Bariatric Fusion chew-able Vitamins. They were designed for patients that have undergone weight loss surgery. You can buy them on-line.

I am 5 days post op as well. I have a liquid Multivitamin that I put in my Protein Shake of a morning and can't even taste it plus I put Benefiber in as well for fibre. I made myself some chicken and vegie Soup and then blended it smooth for some extra fibre. I have also had mashed banana mixed with some milk to make it liquidy and I have also blended a banana in my morning Protein shake. Vitamins for me at the best of times have a funny taste so the liquid one is working out great!! Today was the first day I wasn't visited by "the creature from the black lagoon" and I think it is because of the fibre I'm adding.

      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.
