Citrical 2 per day for Calcium supplement, and Alive multivitamin 3 per day. They are both gummie Vitamins. I, AT FIRST, had the chewable chalky vitamins, what a waste, I couldn't handle the tartness or chalkiness of them after surgery!! I'm sure you'll find the ones that are right for you!!

Vitamin D chewable gels (10,000 IU per serving) 1 x day, Centrum chewables 1 x day, sublingual B12 1 x day, and Bariatric Advantage Wild berry Punch Crystals multi w/calcium 1 scoop 3 x day in my protien drinks. I'm just 12 days post op. I ordered the Bariatric Advantage pre-op diet kit, and the post-op diet kit (protien shakes and bars (pre-op), whey Protein isolate powder, D, B12, crystals (post-op diet). I too didn't start the Vitamins until a week after surgery, and will continue forever....I'm ready for some new protein flavors and whatnot...and there are plenty of options out there and on this forum....good luck!

chewable multivitamin (which I can't stand), sub-lingual B12, calcium citrate as needed (what I don't get from diet), acidophilus, and Biotin (potentially help hair loss/regrowth).

Post surgery I'm also taking Zegerid for stomach acid, ursodiol for gall bladder protection, and norvasc for esophageal spasms.

Hey! I just order my Vitamins from vitacost and it was 24.00 dollars for my Biotin, vitiamin B12, d and d3, calcium citrate, and a multi Vitamin. They are all liquid, chewable, Gummy or lozengers. Your doctor may require something different, so I would take to them

I take a daily multi with Iron. I chew Tums because they have a lot of Calcium. But what I think works really well is the monthly B12 shot I get. It makes a big difference for me and isn't that much trouble to work in. One less thing to think about.

      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.
