My Dr told me to start taking Vitamins and supplements 10 days out. Today is my first day and I got the Multivitamin down fine. I tried crushing the others and putting them in my Protein drink..... Disgusting!!!!! Any suggestions?

I am supposed to take the multi, Iron, calcium citrate, B12 and zinc every third day for Hair loss. There might be one more but I can't think of it right now.

Did your doctor tell you you have to crush them? If so, then follow his orders, if not then perhaps you don't need to? I've been swallowing all my pills including my tablets and they go down great.

For the first few months I took liquid Vitamin supplements and it was nasty. I take sub lingual B12, And calcuim chews and those are fine. At 6 months out I I.take chewable centrium multi vitamin, It still is not my favorite but is tolerable.

The Dr suggested crushing them but I don't know how that's gonna work out. I'm kinda nervous about swallowing them! I haven't had anything solid yet. I guess I could try applesauce, like a baby haha

ThAts funny I was told that I could take flintstones. Walgreens had a good liquid Vitamin I like. I think Walmart has it to. Only thing is you have to supplement your Iron.< /p>

      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.
