I am so tired of scheduling my crushed meds and Vitamins to coincide with Water and gall bladder meds (which taste like metal) with food. I don't regret the surgery but man this is tedious!

I wouldn't. There is a liquid Vitamin I got from Walmart that got me through. Can't remember the brand. Sorry!

Hi all it's part of the trade off we have to do. If you don't get your micro nutrients then you will get sick..after a while it just becomes a second habit. Try varying different types of Vitamins until you dind what your comfortable with but what ever you do don't stop them.

Well said. You get used to it, like brushing your teeth or showering. It becomes part of your routine. It's for life. It's all in the attitude - think positive. I'm happy to take my Vitamins, fluids and Protein because it keeps me healthy and feeling good as I lose weight. It will keep me healthy and active in the future. I didn't go through all this to be sickly and feeling bad.

The only thing I don't care for is the Calcium. I buy several different flavors of the chewables and mix them all together. That way I don't get sick of one flavor.

This is what I take. It is four a day. They are chewables and taste good. Then I take my calcium citrate. I found them in a petite size so they are easy to swallow. I get them both at walgreens.

I used to take the optisource but they made me feel really sick and they tastes nasty to me. :-(

Shows how different tastes are. I like 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.
