Hi, I am almost 3 months out and I have lost 50 lbs, with that many more to lose. I would like to know where is the best place to buy the Vitamins and Protein Powder at the best prices? Thanks!

I go to Costco!!! Vitamins are definitely cheaper and you get double the size. I buy my Protein shakes from Amazon.com or bodybuilding.com. both are very reasonable.

I buy my Vitamins at costco as well. I also bought chocolate flavored whey Protein. In the big inning I mixed it with soy milk but I find that now I can tolerate 2% milk so I use that.

Prenatal Vitamins are free at Meijers ( if u take them instead of 2 Flintstones) we had the choice of either.. I like Vitamin shops calcium citrate wafers 1000mg each... Favorite Protein I like is Lean shakes from GNC or there Quest Protein Bars

I use Syntha-6 Protein shakes (vanilla ice cream and chocolate cake batter. I just found out today that I have to buy sugar free Protein Shakes, so I need to buy the premier (ready made) that they sell at costco. They r delicious and she said that's the best way to get my 80-100 grams of Protein each day.

I tried them, and thought them disgusting. I take the Celebrate Multicomplete chewable. It's yummy! Orange is my favorite.

I tried various brands like Bariatric Advantage, Flintstones, Centrum etc but they were all useless. They chewables made me nauseous (because of the fillers in them) and the sugar content in the gummies were a major concern for weight gain. I then switched to capsules and finally on my nuts advise I settled for Vita4Life. It’s been three years and no complaints. I get all their products off the website. You can get the products off Amazon too.

      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.
