I hated my chewables, I switched to liquid and the sleeve loves them. Wellesse makes a great line of products, their Calcium tastes like an orange creamcicle. Ingot that from Walmart.< /p>

I didn't have to much of an issue the other times I took them. I take optisource it's a multi for bariatric people and has everything you need but you take it 3 times a day and I dont really care for the texture. I may try the liquid later. Is the one you take for bariatric patients? Are you taking it several times throughout the day and do you have to take other Vitamins or just the one?

I take a liquid multivitamin and a liquid Calcium. I take the multivitamin twice a day and the calcium three times a day (500 mg each serving). That will be the same the rest of my life. No Iron yet.

I take nutrametrix powder multivitamin and Calcium that dissolves in Water. It is an isotonic multivitamin that is a highly absorbable form, and recommended by my NUT. Both can be mixed together, and taken only once a day, minimizing cals and carbs. The taste is a sour citrus drink - which I prefer to the too sweet. Must follow directions regarding amount of water for the mixture to be isotonic. I recommend that you use very cold water for best taste.

I just caught up onall posts and am so sorry to hear several of you are having such troubles with pain and pain meds. I hope it is resolving by now.

CFBarre, I am so sorry to hear about your ordeal! I hope you are home and on the road to recovery now.

I'm surprised to hear about the differences in post-op diets...I have a very specific one to follow. The first week was all liquid, then 4 weeks of purees. No crackers or anything like that. I've been doing fine with fluids and Protein. Luckily Water still tastes good to me. I've been having 3 carnation shakes a day with added Protein Powder and half a bottle of Isopure to hitmy 75 g. of protein.

I felt like crap earlier this week....dizzy and exhausted. My primary doc took me off my blood pressure meds already!! Woo, woo!

I hadn't heard of that one. I will look into it. I like what I am using which is all liquid except for some Gummy calcium at work. The brand is Wellesse and I take 3 tbs. in he morning and 2 tbs. at night so it's really simple. My only concern will be traveling with them. The bottles are kind of bulky. So the nutrametrix might be a good solution for me. I tried he chalky chewables and they made me lurch even on pr-op. I have always had a sensitive stomach to Vitamins. :( but it is nice that there are other solutions out there. Thanks for the info.

Glad to see that I'm not the only one only needing to take a multi vitamin only (no D for me). I thought I hadn't listened or read my stuff from the doc. I only take my Flinstones vitamin and that's it.

Really? I was told I have to take a multivitamin, Calcium with d3, Iron and B12 everyday for the rest of my life. I would say at minimal to look into the B12 if you feel tired, it gives me alot of energy and is easy to take.

They have Vitamins for bariatric people and it has all of these in them, maybe you could look into them. I take optisource and I get it at Walgreens.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
