Help.......

The original tablets were too big. I decided to try Bariatric Advantage chewable, caramel. VERY gritty. Bad after taste. So I'm back to the large pills.

I want to try the Critical petites. Has anyone tried these?

Bariatric Advantage agent suggested wild cherry chewable.

If anyone has any suggestions please share.

Thanks

I'm taking Solaray capsules and open them into my drinkable yogurt. Makes for gritty yogurt, but doesn't add any taste. I'm taking 500mg 2x day and supposedly the Vitamin D in the yogurt helps with absorption.

It sounds like all the chewable have the gritty taste. I really can't handle the gritty taste. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I couldn't handle any of the chewables. My surgeon recommended the Bariatric Advantage chewy bites and I love them - all 4 flavors.

Try the Calcet Calcium bites on the Celebration website. They come in lemon and chocolate and are very good. I received a sample before surgery and purchased after I was cleared to have them.

I bought three favors of the Bariatric Advantage chews. Caramel, Lemon and chocolate Peanutbutter.

I actually like the lemon and caramel. I have an almost whole bag of the choc pb to get rid of. That is the only one I didn't like.

I also have the BA preop chewable Vitamins. Don't care for the flavor. I will be looking into other Multivitamins when I use these up.

Cala, the nutritionist gave me samples of the lemon and berry. I have been taking the Caltrate petites. Thanks.

      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.
