I went to liquid Centrum until I was finally able to eat, and keep down, the gummies. I still don't chew them, I just bite them in half and swallow with sips of Water. I've found that my taste for foods has changed since surgery (10 weeks post-op). It's improving with time, but still weird when I look at something I loved before and the thought of eating it makes me gag!

I'm going to try the liquid Centrum next. My NUT doesn't support that choice or the tummies they say not enough nutrients as the chewable and oral pills but any things better than nothing that's my motto and right now I throw up half the time. Found liquid b1 also gonna try that with the liquid centrum.

Grind them and dump the powder in Protein Shake.< /p>

Try Nature Made Vita Melts. They melt in your mouth and are a great alternative to regular, liquid or chewable vitamins. I use the Multivitamin, hair-skin-nails (biotin), energy (b1) and Vitamin D. I found mine initially at Target but now order them online on Amazon. I developed an aversion to Vitamins early on and would instantly feel nauseous. Never happens with these and they are actually yummy!

I tried Celebrate Vitamins rapid melt VIT d but makes me sick. I have B12 rapid melts I haven't tried yet. I'm getting Vitamin levels tested tomorrow then I'll see how bad things are.

      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.
