As soon as I healed enough to take pills instead of chewables, I went to GNC and switched out some of the Vitamins.< br />

How far along were you before getting the ok to take pills? I have the bariatric capsules that I was taking prior to surgery. My nutritionist informed me that I would no longer be able to take them. So I purchased these God awful chewables. However, the E.R. doctor prescribed an antibiotic which is a capsule for my kidney infection and I took them with no problem, but my nutritionist still says I can't go back to my bariatric capsule vitamins.

I ordered PatchMD vitamin patches to use after surgery. My surgery is June 1 and I'm terrified after reading all of this feedback! As for Protein, my nutritionist said it is based on height. As a 5'6 female, my goal is about 89 grams a day. It is easy to get on the pre-op diet because I'm doing 2 Protein Shakes a day, as well as adding a tablespoon of unflavored Protein Powder (31g) to 16 of Crystal Light.

I like a couple different Protein Shakes. Premier Protein, 30G per bottle, is the best tasting and easiest to buy. I get them from Wal-Mart. I have also ordered Protein mixes from Bariatric Pal and like all of the ones I've tried. I feel like I'm getting a milkshake when I make them at home.

As far as Multi-Vitamin, I use the Bariatric pal Multi-Vitamin patch. I love it!!!! no chewing anything. The dr's office recommended them so I know they work.
