I have a friend that had the sleeve and his doctor told him he could take Flintstones Vitamins. My question is what do you use. I looked up the vitamins my Dr recommended and I just can't spend over $100 a month on vitamins.

I'm using Vitafusion for women from costco. They go on sale often as well. They taste a bit sweet though

I use Flintstones Complete. I'm nearly 1.5 years out and completely healthy.

I just had bloodwork done last week... The only thing abnormal was my "high" B 12 level... Imagine that! LOL

I am taking Centrum chewables , orange flavor, but plan to switch to the normal ones as soon as these tun out. Not a fan of chewable Vitamins. 10 dlls per bottle of 100 tablets. 100 dlls month is way too much for me too.

How does everyone feel about those gummie Vitamins??

Some woman on this baratric Facebook page was kind of rude to me after I'd posted that my surgeon said they were OK to take, and she went off and said they AREN'T ok, that people can die from taking them, and that I need to do my research.

Most gummy vitamins are incomplete and not recommended. I've never heard of anyone dying from them. Heck, you can die by choking on a normal Vitamin. That woman sounds like an ass.

      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.
