I started with liquid vitamins, but after about a week couldn't choke it down anymore, the taste was terrible. I went back to my large pre-band Vitamin pills cut in two for a few days and then just swallowed them whole with warm liquids in the morning. I haven't had any problems with them going down. I'm four months out now and I do still have problems with some foods, but pills have not been a problem for me.

I can recommend a liquid Vitamin NOT to take.... The Centrum liquid. It is awful! You know when you take a vitamin and you can smell it in your urine, well I imagine that if we were to drink that urine it would taste the same. YUCK!! I even tried mixing it in my Protein Shake so I could get it down.....bad idea!! I had to make a whole new shake-minus the vitamin. I think I spent about $8 on it and threw it away 2 days later. Damn, $8 in the garbage. I would recommend going with a chewable, but hey that's my opinion.

BTW, Lessnless, I thought Centrum silver was for seniors. You aren't a senior!!! Does it have more of something than the regular Centrum that I don't know about?

      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.
