Tomorrow will be a month out of the hospital and i have not been taking my "Multi-Delyn liquid Vitamins" its just disgusting and i hated it, i hated crushing the pills as well that i just started drinking them in halfs, My question is there any other type of Multivitamins i can take that isnt liquid some type of pill or chewables if so any suggestions or brands links would be appreciated. Also in this 1 month Ive lost about 29 pounds but ive seemed to hit a stall as i keep going from 304-306 i dont think munch about it since i lost so much for 1 month.

@@JeffVII - "embrace the stall" is on here everywhere. they happen (stalls), so you are dead-on about not thinking too much about it. 29pounds in 1 month is excellent. Stay on track (off the scale - maybe once a week) and you will be fine.

Check with your NUT, but I was told I could do chewable children's Vitamins (Flintstones), 2 a day. If it had Iron in it, I could drop the Iron supplement as well. I did those for a few months.

My surgery is not until next week, but I will also be on Flintstone's 2x a day.

There are a ton of different options for Vitamins out there. I know for me the gummies seem to work okay and I was on them from week one on. I think the first 90/120 days I was taking half of the recommended dosage (1 Gummy per day instead of 2). Now I take anywhere from 1 normal dosage up to 2 ( 2 gummies in the am and then 2 in the pm). I have gone back and forth between Men's One a Day, and Vita fusion Men's complete Multivitamin gummies. The Vita Fusion's tend to taste a bit more sweeter to me, which is due I think to the fact that they have a sugary coating on them. They are also my emergency go to Vitamins whenever I forget to take my One A Days. I initially was looking at the brands that my surgeon carries in his office, but decided against them when it just came down to cost.

      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.
