Hi all, I'm getting close! Start my liquid diet tomorrow and surgery on July 2nd. I have found a Protein Shake I love, now I am looking for the best Vitamin that taste good. Does anyone have a favorite and why? Thanks in advance for your input!

The gummy vitamins taste the best but have some carbs in them so watch that number. Good luck!

Flinstones Vitamins, simply put even my nutritionist agrees they are the best , and you can get them with Iron as well, if you like. although i switched to the non iron ones and take a iron chewable that tastes great called veglife, its a vegan iron supplement and it tastes really good, suprised the heck out of me.

heres the pic if you like

I really like and prefer the fusion Complete chewable in Orange & Cream Flavor.

They are solid, but break down really easy.

Taste is quite good, tastes like orange cream.

As GSV patient, I only have to take (3) three of these during the day, and NOTHING ELSE.

Thanks for everyones input. I look at my list my surgeon gave me and as much as I would like to take Flinstones, I would have to take so many to get what they recommend.

I am taking Celebrate Multivitamin Mandarin Orange chewable and its okay but has an aftertaste I'm not crazy about plus this makes me nauseous now while on the pre-op diet and before surgery so I don't think I will keep taking them after.

So I was wondering the same thing...

I really like Children's chewable Multi-Vitamins from Target - comparable to Flintstones!

      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.
