cat.jackson89 would you double check this with your nutricianist. My instructions were to begin immediately taking the full range of Vitamins once I arrived home. The only ones that were restrictive were the extra supplements that I was taking prior to surgery, such as Juvenon.

The instructions for RNY patients were daily:

3 Flintstone's complete chewable Multivitamins

Additional 65 milligrams elemental Iron daily for menstruating women

1500-1800 mg. Calcium citrate

500-1000 micrograms sublingual B12 daily or 1000 mcg IM injections once monthly

100 mg Thiamine (vitamin B1) daily

Probiotics recommended

Its hard to believe that you will get all this from a patch. Some surgeons may alter the mix slightly of what is required and there are some options available, but it is extremely important for you to meet your daily Vitamin requirements.

You can find the Multivitamin patch at PatchMD.com or here at the Bariatric Pal Store. I'm aware of what I need to take- and my Physicians Assistant told me at my 10 day follow up that I was to start the following day. Everyone is different. Our bodies are different, and Our illnesses are different. I know what I was told to do/not do. Even in the slight chance you are a physician, you're not MY physician, therefore I would appreciate that when I say what I was told to take & when, that you would BACK OFF.

      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.
