i have heard Bariatric Advantage are good, although I have never tried them.

I buy TwinLabs - Barriatric Support for my wife and she likes them. They are also less expensive than Bariatric Advantage. (If you buy them on Amazon :) )

I take 2 flinstone complete chewable Multivitamins, GNC B-12 sublingual, and a small Iron pill (only pill besides PPI/prilosec that isn't chewable). You do not have to take the bariatric brands, just check with your nutritionist to make sure that whatever you choose is ok.

I take the Celebrate multi complete twice a day this includes Iron and all the b's. For Calcium I take the Calcet citrate Creamy Bites three times a day which includes vit D. I also use the my med schedule app which texts me when its time to take them, they have to be spaced 2 hours apart.

Try liquid Floridex for Iron, it'll absorb MUCH better. I like the Gummy vits so if you can find these is a much more tasty option. I have liquid B12 that tastes good too.

After 4 months I finally found a multi Vitamin I like. They are ameriwell tabs and you dissolve them in Water and it makes a little "jello shot" that you slide down- tastes like a vitamin Jello but not gritty and has a great dose of all that I need and only 15 a month. Some may not like the hassle of making jello each week but I make a weeks worth at a time and I will actually take these- my chewable just sit there- I don't like chewing them and so I put them off and then end up not taking them.

Oh, good suggestion! Never heard of the jello approach. I tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate tabs and capsules, respectively. Both made me hurl. Next I tried a trader joe high potency tab. That worked and tastes good to me. Now I am taking a GNC men's formula for active trainers, just what I need for high intensity running. I hope you find something that works and that you like.

      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.
