All paper work has been submitted to ins for approval. I am waiting on call from doc with surgery date. I am getting things ready!!! My question is for everyone about what Vitamins have you bought to use after surgery. There are some pretty expensive ones out there. What are you using and where did you get them??

I get my multi Vitamin from trader joes. Then my Iron, Vitamin D, B12, b1, Vitamin C at Walmart or target. The. My Calcium I get from Celebrate Vitamins because this is the one chewable I like best.

I get everything from Amazon Prime because it's magical. I'm taking Centrum chewable Multivitamin, NatureMade B-12 sublingual, a liquid Vitamin D drop from Seeking Health and then went with the Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate chewabes (in caramel, not bad).

Thanks so much. I wanted to get the bariatric advantage Vitamins and Calcium citrate. I didn't want to pay big shipping or up charges. I was thrilled to get them on amazon!

I take Calcium in malate chelate 1200 mcg in a serving of 4 capsules, Multivitamins in multi-standard formula and 1 Vitamin B12 sublingual in the form of methylcobalamin with 1000mcg. I order them off the website of Vita4Life. Personally I was tired of BA as it always made me nauseous and produced no observable results in my labs. I switch when a nut advised me for vita4life.

      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.
