Vitamin Patches



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Me again with another question. I can no longer take any Vitamins chewables gummies etc. I think my next step is vitamin patches. Can anyone recommend the best ones and confirm how they are working for them? I'm just so sick of being sick and throwing up every time I try to get them down.

Ps I have tried them grounded up and in Protein Shakes. Also in drinks. God only know how fast I ended up having to run upstairs to projecting vomit all over my bathroom.

Help SOS!!

Thanks.

Can we just do the Patches for pre and post op instead of all the Vitamins?

I would as your doctor. My doctor told me to get chewables but I can't stomach them anymore after my surgery

      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.
