I was seeing a naturopath before my surgery and taking all kinds of Vitamins. Now that i can't swallow pills, just wondering what Vitamins is everyone taking or if you have any suggestions.

I was taking stuff for my thyroid, Iron, to regulate my cycle.

thanks:help:

Hi. I started out with chewable Flintstones for kids. But, then I came across Viactiv for Calcium and multi-vitamins. I prefer that because it's like a treat every time I take them. I have chocolate flavored, but did have caramel calcium. Wonderful.

I ordered my Vitamins from www.bbvitamins. They are especially formulated for bariatric patients. There are some for lap band surgeries and some for gastric bypass. I was given some samples and they tasted really good.

Thanks! I just ordered a 90-day supply of Multivitamins, calcium citrate, and Iron. I also found a source of chewable glucosamine at Vitamins: Alternative Health supplements & Vitamin Nutrition supplements - VitaminShoppe.com. I think I'm set! :)

I take some Vitamins my personal trainer recommended, they are called juice plus Juice Plus+ - Health and Wellness Product, Whole food Based Nutrition, fruit Nutrition, Antioxidant food and Vegetables

They have chewable ones. I dont know that I will take them after I am done with the ones I have now. they are a bit pricey . But they do the job for now

I saw a commercial for something called Joint juice that I'm going to check into for my glucosamine. I just need to see how many calories and how much sugar.

      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.
