I take Gummy bites..I got them at Walgreens Mine have the 400mcg. Of folate also and I take two a day.. I also use nature's bounty bcomplex liquid Vitamin, Celebrate Iron +c,, and a Calcium +d twice a day chewable caltrate. I'm newer than you so all I know is what the veterans and my Dr. and nut told me...get your Protein and Vitamins, exercise and weight will come off.

B Vitamins are CRITICAL to your mental health, lapsing on B vitamins for too long will have irreversible consequences to your mental capacity. (Per my nurse education class and pre-op educational workshops). I was told that due to malabsorption sublingual B vitamins are the best (they never listed liquid B so I don't know about that - ask your doctor).

My vitamins are only a little different than deaddemmama's Different programs have subtle differences in Vitamin requirements. My multi chewable must say 'complete' in the name - complete means it has Iron. And I have to take chewable calcium citrate w/d three times daily. Calcium cannot be taken within two hours of your multi - if I remember right calcium inhibits iron absorption or visa versa

And as I said above, I take sublingual B (dissolves under the tongue).

You should follow your doctors advice.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
