What do you recommend? Is there one brand better than others? I've been using the Bariatric Advantage, but they're huge and expensive!

My surgeon recommended Vitaleph, so that's what I've been taking. They come in bottles of 90 and I take two a day (not at the same time), so one bottle lasts me a month and a half. They are cheaper if you buy 4 bottles at a time. So, it comes out to about $100 for a 6 month supply.

I've used everything from One a day to KIND to Centrium. SO far my bloodwork has all back perfectly fine.

I started taking the Bariatric Advantage as well. I find it pretty gross. I also want to find a different kind. What about gummies? I haven't asked the NUT yet, but I will

@@boosh10 - check wot your NUT. Mine doesn't like gummies since they are often not complete. After 6 weeks I didn't worry about chewable or crushing pills. Since swallowing pills has never been an issue for me I just swallow.

      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.
