For my multi, I use the generic chewable from CVS (Centrum One-A-Day copy I think), it's super cheap (around $7), doesn't taste horrible, and I can get if BOGO every few weeks (like next week).

My B12 is the Spring Valley sublingual from Walmart (best taste and price so far).

I do use the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews.< /span>

I use Centrum's 1 a day with prostate support (cancer has all but erased the men in my family)

B12 is liquid, I think spring valley, I also do the drops.

Vit D is also spring valley

Fish Oil is whatever is on sell

I don't take Calcium, I'm against kidney stones when supplementing with D. Doesn't happen to everyone, but it can, and has led to kidney stones with using D and Calcium at the same time.

Well, discovered today that CVS has discontinued the chewable I was using... :angry:

You should have no problem with capsules or tablets after the first couple weeks. You will find higher quality Vitamins with fewer additives. Vitamins are not something to skimp on, though. You just spent a lot of money and effort on surgery. Spend a little on decent supplements. Those gummies have about as much potency as a jolly rancher most of the time.

Don't I know it! But I'm not throwing them away. Ill go back to Centrum Silver chewables and continue D3 and B that dissolve. They're better for you. I take a lot of other Meds in the am. I take two sets of Vitamins. Am and pm

      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.
