Anyone else who is greater than 3 months post op staring down at their mountain of Vitamins wondering if there is a better way. Sure I take them out of habit every day, but there are some days when we have a long stare down.

What do you still take? I take a yummy liquid B12 from GNC and a chewable multi post gastric from Walgreens.

I take daily:

2 c chewable (1000 mg) from costco ( orange flavor)

3 multi with Iron from Celebrate

1 krill ( used to take 2 huge Omega 3 gel caps, glad I replaced with 1 small krill)

2 citalopram ( not sure I need any more, but need to figure out how to get off it)

2 b12 under the tongue

1 energy blend from GNC

1 d at 5000 iu ( used to take 3 so glad I found a 5000 iu )

1-2 Prilosec

2 b-50 capsules from Celebrate

2 Calcium chew from Bariatric Advantage ( actually take 6 a day spread out)

I am not keen to remember to take them all unless done together in the morning. The exception is the calcium chews which I take 2 hours apart from the multi with Iron in the morning and remainder 4 at other 2 meals. The calcium chews are about the once Vitamin supplement I can stomach from Bariatric Advantage. Don't get me started on the BA multi tablets. Those are long gone.

I don't know. A lot of them were recommended by NUT during post-op.

It seems a bit much but every dr is different. I was told to stop Calcium after the first month and only stay on multi and B12

      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.
