I bought a huge bottle of Celebrate and regret it. I can't tolerate the taste and am working with the company to return/exchange. My fault totally. Had a sample, thought it wasn't bad and bought 180 to save $. If I can return them, I think I'll just get Flintstones complete.

We have to take the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins that the doctor's office sells. They are gigantic capsules and you have to take one capsule 3 times per day. I just started on those today (Day 7).

I do take separate Vitamins as I can't swallow big pills (even before the surgery I will gag with the prenatal when I was pregnant). I am taking a Multivitamin from walgreens that the nurse practitioner at my Dr's office recommend me, they are super tiny and easy to swallow. I have a B12 that is sublingual and tastes like cherry, I take d3, and recently got a liquid Calcium. I was taking citracal petite, but they were still huge for me. I tried the Flintstone and the Celebrate Multivitamin and didn't like the chalky taste/feeling.

      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.
