Not sure about liquid gels. I was able to take a normal size oblong pill day after surgery. They have to me in hospital for my depression. I also took Prilosec and Zyrtec day after ( given in hospital too).

Started Vitamins on day 7 post op all mine are chewable at the moment. I'll probably stick with chewable Calcium (they taste good) but I'm going to switch to 3 multi Vitamin tablets per day soon.

I put my vitamins in a little container the night before and just bring it with me the following day. Iron and calcium cannot be taken within 2 hours of each other also, your body can only absorb 500 mg of calcium at a time. So, I take 5 vitamins at least 2 hours apart each day. I just wrote down when I take them which I found easier than setting an alarm to take them. I just make sure it's at least 2 hours apart for each one. I use Bariatric Advantage.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
