I was told since we need less Vitamins then kids that is good...I still take Calcium too

I had never heard that before about adults needing less than kids...so thought I'd look it up...according to the government's National Institute of Health that publishes the Recommended Dietary Allowance and issues fact sheets for health professionals and the public on Vitamins and supplements, adults need more than kids of almost everything (Vitamin A, B6, B12, C, D, folate and Iron are the ones I looked at)...calcium was the one that I noted where adults 19-50 need less than teens and seniors.

I remember loving those as a kid...got some post-op and, let's just say my current impression did not match my memory...

That's what we tell our patients as well. But as I said each doc/nut is different. I will keep taking the adult or bariatric Vitamins and the Lil extra they provide. Can't hurt....I will need all the help I can get on this journey....

Kcolli28 Bariatric Advantage was the other company if you email them they will send you out samples also. They will return your email asking you to call them. When you call them they will your info and send you out samples. You get them within a few days. Awesome to just try out to see if you'd like before you buy.

Just to add my 2 cents in... My Dr puts us on Centrum silver chewable. They take a bit to get use to but over all not too bad

I started with the Bariatric Advantage but they made me sick. Ive been taking Centrum Flavor Bursts multiviamin and mineral and you can take them with or without food.

Thanks ill look into those too. To take the silver is that because you are over 50 or just better for people after bariatric surgery?

I got the opurity from the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury site, and it makes me vomit violently just minutes after taking it. It has at least twice the recommended dose for almost all the Vitamins, and I think it's one of the B-vitamins that does it. Perhaps yours are a little too potent as well.

I'm a little annoyed, because they were EXPENSIVE.

      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.
