I have been using the chewable optisource Vitamins - cherry-flavored and not bad. I have to chew two in the morning and two in the evening. Now they are not delicious' date=' but they don't make me gag. Walgreens sells them and you can buy them online. They are designed specifically for RNY folks[/quote']

Good to know... Thanks!

Thanks for the advice on Vitamins. I appreciate it. Crystal Lite Lemonade is really helping me get more fluids faster for those that are having a problem. If you don't like lemonade it might be worth it to try a different flavor like ice tea, berry splash (I didn't like)...I didn't think it would make a difference but I went from 8 oz in 2 hours to 8 oz in 1 hour.

These are a chewable one a day. Only need to add Calcium and done for the day.

10 bucks a bottle for a month.

Thanks... I use flintstone complete Vitamins (reminds me of my childhood)... It's the calcium that is killing me.

I hope I am posting this correctly. I am new to the site. I had my surgery the day before Thanksgiving. I am finally on some foods now & even though I really wasnt hungry, I was sooo bored with the fluids. It is nice to be able to chew again! Still have trouble getting the suggested amount of fluids in during the day. Anyone else have that trouble? How do you get anything done but drink all day? Ugh!

I was doing good for a while with fluids but now I'm struggling since I'm eating more food and less shakes.< /p>

I just hit my 30 pound weight loss this morning. So happy I did this. I have not had one problem and feel like this is a new beggining for me. How is everyone else doing?

[worm2872 635]

Congrats on the 30!!

I just hit 20 pounds today since surgery. Have been doing good but today is rough. I'm really tired.

So I found out today I am having symptoms of TMJ associated with having my Jaws propped open during the surgery (ventilation tubes & endoscopy) and that is why I am so adverse to chewing my pills. I had a HORRIBLE headache last night in my left temple and went to my regular Dr thinking I must have a ear infection or a sinus infection, but no. My mom has TMJ so I have always been very cautious with things like chewing gum. Good news is that I may be fine once my jaw is less "traumatized".

Fatigue is my biggest challenge.
