Do you all have to take Calcium with these or are they good to go? Also, how many do you take per day?

I only take one Multivitamin.

liquid calcium citrate w/vit D and magnesium

B12 complex sublingual

Vitamin C (helps the body absorb iron)

And Biotin

I'm supposed to take my Iron now as well but I have yet to find a chewable.

I have an appointment with my nutritionist Monday so I'm going to ask for some clarification on the amounts I'm supposed to be taking. My multivite already had iron in it and I don't want to take too much.

I found my chewable Iron at Celebrate.com. Flavored (grape).

Do they taste horrible that way? What do you mix them with?

Oh that's good. I still have the ones I took during my preop diet. I'll give it a try today. I tried it with a couple of Tylenol and it tasted like poison!

I have an appointment with my nutritionist tomorrow, I get to start purée! Yippeeee! I have so many questions for her, it took up three pages in my notebook!

      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.
