I couldn't stand the Calcium either. It was the worst. I bought some caramel chews (Bariatric Advantage) and they are SO MUCH better.

I'm going to finish the chewable multis, but then I need something different. They're a close second in nastiness to the calcium chewables.

Part of the problem is the chalky taste that stays with me for hours. Part is that everything is SWEET flavored, and I'm sick of sweet. Sweet shakes, sweet Vitamins, sweet Popsicles, sweet Jello, sweet sweet sweet.

Sick. Of. It. All.

(Sorry for the rant. Just reaaaaaally depressed lately over it all)

I use Flintstones complete with Iron. I have the liquid Multivitamin but I hate it so I don't take that. I used to take the calcium chews but they were too sweet for me. I am 4 months post op so I now just take the Calcium pill.

I just ordered multivitamin capsule from Bariatric Advantage, 3 a day and just swallow! Let's see how it goes. Now I have Bariatric Fusion chewables , I don't like!

Hi I had my surgery on April 21,2014. I just had my labs done. I take 2 flintstone Vitamins, 1 in the morning and 1 at night. Bariatric Advantage chewable Calcium carmel flavor. Yummy! It is my sweet treat everyday! Highest dosage b-12 sublingual., and extra Vitamin D liquid form. Everything tested just fine. Although my weekly Protein needs to be higher. So working on that.....I am not tolerating meat very well. So premiere protien shakes, tofu, edamame,and fage greek yogurt.

Sometimes it is hard to eat tummy pouch drama!

I found it at barimelts.com. Looks like you can get a sample pack of the multi, Iron, B12 and Calcium. I'm going to try it! It says there all natural.

      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.
