Many of us have been advised against gummies as inferior nutrient value. Can't comment specifically on that brand however. Ask your NUT.

I don't take Centrum but I have been taking Women's one a day gummies. My surgeon said they were fine.

How have your labs been?

I have not had any; don't go back to the doctor until Dec 1.

I did take them prior to the surgery on 10/14/2015, but I was told not to take them anymore during post-ops. I really liked them and I didn't have side effects like I did with the other Vitamins that I have to take now.

There are no guarantees. If your surgeon okays it, then go for it. Mine does not allow gummies since they don't feel they provide complete nutrition.

I do. I take Centrum gummies and caltrate gummies. Have for 9.5 months. My labs are absolutely fine. No deficiencies.

I take 2 Children's Flintstones Vitamins per day, which was an option from my doctor. I may change later down the road, but they are good. I love them!

      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.
