I am on Celebrate multi, Calcium, Iron and B12. They all make my stomach upset. The calcium is way too big and it tastes bad. The b12 is a small meltaway, Iron doesn't taste bad and the multi is so so. They are all fruity flavored and I find that after my surgery 2 months ago, the taste of them is almost unbearable. I haven't been taking them as I should and I know that's bad, but hopefully I can switch to the pill form soon. Also switching to the calcium chews which taste much better.

Okay so I eat the tums candy they have mint and cherry. The Centrum chewable Gummy and there was this B12 and Calcium that dissolve in your mouth but they are hit and miss with the palate so definitely chewable is the way to go. I did disintegrated Vitamin into the pudding and that seemed to do the trick also.

I just ordered a trial of Tespo Vitamins. You might want to give them a try since the vitamins are liquid and the absorption should be higher! I'll let you know how I like it!

It took me a while to get used to taking Vitamins after surgery. I couldn't keep them diwn so I didn't try to force it. As time passed, it got easier and now they are a daily habit. I still hate them, but not because they make me feel sick. Give it some time.

      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.
