Congrats on your upcoming surgery. My surgeon recommended the chewable Bariatric Advantage multi-vitamins to begin with. You chew 2 a day and they are rather large so in the beginning I really had to space them out - I usually have one about 10 am and another about 3 pm. I ordered a 2 month supply to begin with. I like them - they taste kind of like Flintstone Vitamins.

I would perhaps start out with a 30 day supply just to see how they work for you.

My nutritionist told me to wait on the Patches till there is more research. She joked since we take Vitamins the rest of our lives there will be many advances. I currently have barimelts for B12, Vitamin D, Biotin and Calcium. I still taking a capsule for my multi Vitamin but purchased powder I can add to Water while I'm on liquids and puree.

I got the Patches esp after the surgery pre eating phase, worth it for piece of mind. Looking back I would not be able to have eaten much for the first month, so it was a good fit , better than taking nothing.

I use the Patches.

B-12

Biotin plus

vit D and Calcium

and Multivitamin

i haven't had my bloods done yet since my surgery was only last week, but the PA at my first post op visit said her patients who use them have all had good levels.

I went directly to PatchMD.com and Got a discount for 40% off if I auto-shipped when I received my first order it was a great price

if I can find the code I'll post it

I think it was spring40

      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.
