My nutritionist cautioned me about gummies as they can contain high amounts of sugar. You want to watch for that.

I use the Celebrate brand of chewable vitamins and supplements and they taste fine, with the exception of Iron, which I could not tolerate. I went to the Patch MD iron Patches and so far so good.

Patch MD multi. Slap it on. I put mine on overnight. Leave it on for 8 hours. Absorbs thru the skin. Cleveland clinic is happy with my blood results. I also use B12 patch. I'm 7 months out. You can buy it on this website store.

They recommended Flintstones chewable for me. gummies are not good because they do not contain the Iron you need. I really never heard of Patches. Thanks for information. 🤔

That and everywhere I read says chewables absorb better. Glad I'm reading all this stuff now.

As for what MV I take I'll wait until my next appointments with my surgeon and RD to ask that. They mentioned taking prenatal Vitamins long ago. At least I don't need to buy tampons. :wacko:

      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.
