What kind are you taking? I'm wanting to find one that doesn't taste terrible that I might can tolerate. My sleeve is June 1.

I take Centrum Adult for my Multivitamin. I just swallow them now and don't taste anything. The B1 is the gross one. That one you just have to get down as quickly as possible. My daughter in law likes the Centrum chewables. She said they don't taste too bad. My NUT says post-op to cut the multivitamin in half to take it. She doesn't want us having anything larger than the size of an M&M.

My office set me up with Nascobal (B12 nasal doses) and their bariactiv Vitamins. It's submitted through your insurance and you pay $25 or less a month. It was designed specifically for Bariatric patients. I have been taking them pre surgery and I really like them (all chewable/dissolvable). They were also really quick and helpful setting it up through my insurance. A lot cheaper than buying new each month.

I'm not taking them yet, but if you have a CVS near you they have most all of the Vitamins we need after surgery in chewable form. They also have really good buy one get one specials on Vitamins.< /p>

Nasal? Really they have me taking Iron Vitamin B C &D do they have to be chewables? my multi v are

Yes they are chewable and dissolvable. My nutritionist said gummy vitamins have no minerals so they are not a complete vitamin (of course that's what I had been taking). These Bariactiv Vitamins have a great taste (orange and fruit punch I think) and it only costs me $25 a month for B12 Nasal, Calcium, iron, and Multi Vitamin. If you buy them all separately every month it can get pricey. Plus they deliver it to your house.

Surgery is June 3rd!

My dietitian said gummies do not have Iron. I used to take them. She said after surgery Flintstones chewables are fine 1 week after surgery. I also will be taking B12 sublingual (they dissolve) and citrical chewables. I tried the bariatric Vitamins and they made me nauseated.

      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.
