For now, since time is wasting, I decided to go with the online place I have bought Vitamins prior to surgery, Puritans Pride. I got chewable prenatal multi, chewable Calcium, I have vit D, as I have to take that before and will start with all this and see how it goes.

I use Celebrate Calcium and I get it at a local nutrition shop. It's also available on Amazon. I get my B12, Flintstones, and D3 from Walmart or Target.

I get everything I need from Walmart or walgreens. I used to order too but it is just easier and more economical this way. All of my blood work has been spot on so I know what I'm doing works! I take Flintstones with iron-2 a day, Calcium citrate- 2 or 3 a day depending on how much milk I've drank, Iron, and a B12 once a week. That's it.

It's weird how different doctors are. I was told to stay far away from calcium citrate found in Walmart/Target because it doesn't have what we need. I also take B12 every day.

I think one of the most important things is to look for the black UPH seal on the label

I was terribly confused about MVI, Calcium and B12. I ended up talking with a Registered Dietician from Unjury and now get all from them. It's just a bit more than the CVS brand and you get 15% off each delivery plus free shipping and handling.

      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.
