Can someone help me with figuring out Vitamins? I currently take a Flinstones Multivitamin and a Biotin. Lately the flinstones ones are tasting AWFUL so I tried the one a days... even worse!! Now I'm stuck with this Iron like taste in my mouth. I've noticed the vitamins make me nauseous as well. Anyone else?

From what I understand the bariatric Vitamins, although expensive, are worth it. I use Celebrate multivitamin plus calcium citrate. They are HUGE and you have to take four a day. The good news is that they kind of taste like candy. I suck on them as long as I can so they don't clog up my pouch too much.

That's my two cents.

I use Tespo bariatric women's complete liquid vitamins, they're great.

I'm in the same boat. I have tried several different Vitamins since surgery all of which make me sick to my stomach, including the expensive Bariatric Advantage ones. Has anyone tried the Vitamin Patch?

I read a study on the vitamin patches that Unjury's scientists did that said that the Vitamins they claim to deliver were not what tbe Vitamin Patches were capable of delivering.

      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.
