So I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I want to start taking prenatals but I'm not sure which ones. Any suggestions? :)

Talk to your doctor. They will know what's best for you.

Talk to your doctor. I take multi-vit, Iron nd Calcium and in addition my OB had me take a folic acid + DHA in the first 2 trimesters.

Talk to your doctor. I take 2 prenatals a day along with the rest of the pills I have to take since surgery. I used to only take one as that was used as my multi Vitamin.

Congratulations!!!!!

Unfortunately I'm in the middle of looking for insurance right now. I just turned 26 so I'm not covered by my parents anymore, so I don't have a doctor yet :/

Go to a local drugstore and ask the pharmacist for help. They'll be able to help you find what you need.

Well there's not really a "bad" prenatal to take. Be warned, most of them are huge and always make me gag.

You're right. Im sure they all have the same things in them just depends on the brand you want. I take the ones from Walmart. They aren't to big and I've never had a problem with them like I have my Calcium pills.

      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.
