I have surgery on the 28th. Just had my last console. All they care about for the first month is that I sip Water. Eating and vitimins are optional. Yes, you want to do those things but healing and not throwing up are the most important. As my nut said 30 days with just staying hydrated wont hurt you.

I'm on the 28th to!! 9 days left;)

Vitamins are one of those things where you dont want to get the cheapest. you dont need the most expensive, but the cheapest is not going to get you what you need.

try vitacost.com, they have excellent wholesale prices on quality Vitamins. their house brand has always worked well for us.

At a bariatric support meeting, the person heading the group, an R.N., handed out the label for Bariatric Advantage and suggested we use this list to compare other brands against.

I bought Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins and then on recommendation I bought the Source of Life liquid Gold. I compared the two and the Source of Life was the best, and awesome in comparison. I could hardly swallow the big chalky BA Vitamin so my husband got the BA ones, LOL. No waste! I like the ease of the liquid, and the taste is good.

I was doing Flintstones, but ended up ordering Centrum chewables from Amazon. I have sublingual b-12 and calcium citrate chewables as well. My doctor had be begin all of them the same day I started my Protein liquids.

I looked into liquid Vitamins at my local store, but it seemed really expensive for a tiny bottle. I'll have to check them out online, it sounds like a much better bargain.

I get all the essential Vitamins from Vita4Life off their website. The vitamins are also available on Amazon.< /p>

I buy Vitamins at Vitamin Shoppe, (my probiotic) and Walmart, (multi, B12, D3, Biotin, Iron, Calcium, fish oil). Early on I got everything I could in chewable form, now I just swallow pills. If it was recommended that you take extra iron and\or extra calcium, it is important that the iron be taken with no other supplements for maximum absorption.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
