My doc told me just to take a chewable multivitamin. However, I was told by someone that taking B-12 would help my skin's elasticity.

By the way, Marissa, you are gorgeous!!

WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE RESPONSE AND THE COMPLIMENT! MAY I ASK IF YOU ARE MALE OR FEMALE? ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT MENSTRATING FEMALES NEED TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL Vitamin BUT I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS. MAYBE Iron?

I am a female - to be honest, I don't know why I cannot get my pic to come up!!!

I am not sure about that Vitamin, but since you are younger it might be folic acid, Calcium, or magnesium. Sorry I wasn't much help doll.

If you take a sufficient multivitamin, there shouldn't be much more that you are needing other than your daily Protein and Calcium intake.

I totally recommend GNC's multivitamin for women. It has EVERYTHING you need in it and more. You can get it in liquid or get a pill-cutter to take it.

It is in a purple box with a pink flower on it - AWESOME!

calcium is the big one... is till take that becuase too much cant hurt but not enough can be THE WORST THING EVER!!!! my 22 year old friend lost bone density, and she shakes in pain at night... so anyways, hope this helps!

This will crack you up!!! "but it works" flinstone Complete Chewables" now go back and read it again. I asked were they serious??? You bet ya!! This is out of Henry Ford Hospital, so I new they weren't kidding. It contains a certain ingredient Choline. They said that would be a very big plus to all of us. They also put me on Pepcid Complete. I get my Calcium from this, and no sighn of Acid Reflux at all. "I think that stopped when I got banded."

I am very serious, I feel great!!!!! Shirley....:laugh :laugh

      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.
