Oh baby, we are the home to wal-mart and SAMs club!!! One on every corner! I guess I can suck it up and buy a membership, I try to avoid them due to the massive jumbo sized crap I don't really need :D

I got them today and the taste is not bad at all. They are smaller than i thought they would be also. Sure beats taking two Multivitamins a day since this give you 200% of the daily recommended amount. Plus it has the required Iron i'm supposed to take :)....Baker_gurl, what other supplements do you take along with this?

I also take 4 calcium citrate pills. I get them in a 300 count bottle for just under $8. I take a sublingual B12 and 1 Biotin pill. I get all of these from Walmart.< /p>

I don't notice any difference yet but then we are absorbing fully like pre bypass. My MD said its likely she will be giving me shots of b12

Yep bought my Biotin 5000mcg from Walmart . B12 from trader joes. calcium citrate chews sugar free and prenatal Vitamin from costco. No I'm not pregnant, it's just prenatal Vitamins are the best and they have Iron in them.

      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.
