I am also 3 weeks post op! I take two Flintstones Complete Vitamins (chewable) each morning. Are you taking a chewable Vitamin? The Flintstones aren't the greatest thing on the planet but not horrible either. Good luck!

Agree, agree, agree!!!!! I'm still not sound that great. The Calcium and B12 are ok - it's the multi that is killing me. I gave tried chewable and liquid and neither would stay down!

I struggled with this also... Tries both chewable nd liquid, threw them both up with minutes of swallowing. I have switched to Centrum 1 a day gummies, I take double the dose, so 4 gummies in the morning. I still take my chewable Iron and Vit B, but my Vitamin D is also Gummy. Good luck to you, and don't give up!

I couldn't stomache any of them but the flinstone children's Vitamins. My Dr told me I could quit taking them if they were making me sick. But he did tell me it was a must for white females and black males. ( didn't ask why )

There are a Gummy version of almost every mineral/ Vitamin and they tend to taste good. They use natural fruit flavors. For a mutil vitamin, I've been taking Centrum flavor bites. They are much better then the other chewables I've tried. There are also gummy Multi Vitamins, but my dr told me to try centrum first...

      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.
