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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
