What type of Vitamins are your doctors making you take?

Anyone have to take a prenatal pill?

A big handful, that's for sure. Multivitamin, D, B12, b complex, c, Calcium, Omega 3 and 6. Took them faithfully for 6 months and blood work came out well. I am continuing to take the same cocktail daily.

Yup, we all do when taking PPI because Calcium carbonate will not absorb so well.

I take daily centerium chewable Multi vitimans and calcium chews. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I take B12 sub lingual, B1. The hardest for me is the Multi vitiman. For some reason the Multi vitiman makes me feel a bit of nausea.

You might try TJ High Potency adult chewable tablets. These are good tasting and had no trouble eating these when other multi caused nausea (tried Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate). If you eat 2 daily you get about 200% DV of everything. As said above labs were really good at 6 months.

Also I have found Bariatric Advantage chewable citrates to be really good. I order caramel flavor from Amazon every 10 days or so to fulfill 6 chews a day where each chew is 250 mg Calcium. Works really well to take 2 of these an hour before eating 3 of your daily meals.

Ditto what ^ fiddle said. They taste pretty good, also.

      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.
