I purchased a Tespo machine a few months back and totally love it! I want to share the info with those of you looking for alternate ways to get your bariatric Vitamins in. This little machine uses pods - I purchased the Women's Bariatric Plus one. Once you insert the pod into the machine it automatically goes to your next dose, pops a hole in the foil pod and disperses a tiny bit of Water before mixing it for you. It takes like 15 seconds. The intake amount is so small it is not problematic for new WLS peeps and it tastes kind of like Tang - actually pretty good - I LOVE it! Check out this site for more info and a $30 off code. The more pods you order the lower the cost is for your vitamins. I order the women's bariatric plus, mens complete, sleep and hair and nails one.....love, love, love. Hope this helps those of you that are having trouble getting your Vitamin supplements down!

Here's the code if it doesn't come up for you - raf59bbceae77bfa - to get $30 off :)

I like the Patches from Patchmd.com

Ive had good levels at 3 months and am scheduled to be checked again soon.

Besides having the VSG, Vitamins can get destroyed in your stomach before even being absorbed. So this method they go in through your capillaries and straight into the blood.

Also, it goes in over 8 hours.

      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.
