There was an old post or thread a while back about Vitamins and someone posted a brand that sounded like an all-in-one specified for RNY needs. Anyone know what it is and where I can get them?!! My Vitamin regime is falling apart with a busy schedule!

My RNY team suggests optisource - 2 in the am and 2 in the pm...

NUT said it’s the perfect total source for all my needs - nothing else to take or schedule - except PROTEIN...

My Dr. and NUT approved me taking opurity once per day. I got it from the Unjury site.

I'm with Nicole K! I switched over from O'purity to the Bariatric chewable from ProCare now. I love that I only have to take one Multivitamin, plus Calcium and B12. It's small and easily chewable!

I take Bariatric Fusion (buy them online- Get some free samples by emailing them!). Yes, I take 4 chewables per day (or at least 3, sometimes I forget 1), but I don't have to take ANY other supplements. I really like that! (It even has Biotin in it!)

I was told by the nutritionist not to take the all-in-one stuff. You have to take the Calcium and Iron separately and at least 2 hours apart. Calcium blocks the absorption of iron. They're probably fine as long as you're taking iron supplements.< /p>

I do take calcium and b-12 and iron separately. I can't take the other bariatric Vitamins or should say can't remember 4 times a day. So a one a day works and my nutritionist approved it. Good luck!

I also take a separate Ca and D3 supplement along with extra B12. (in addition to the 1/day Opurity). Dr. and NUT like this version.

      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.
