I take Citrical for my Calcium supplement, primarily because I buy it at Sam's club when it is on sale and it is fairly inexpensive. It was rough at the beginning because after surgery, I could not swallow it and I had to crush it. It took around 2 months before I could swallow that large pill again. Crushed Citrical taste like chalk and the only way I was able to get it to go down was mixing it in a glass of Crystal Light.

I like the Bariatric Advantage multivitamin and chewy bits. The chewy bits are almost like little candies.

Definitely Bariatric Advantage. Its more costly but i only have to buy 1 multi since it has everything we need in it, and 1 calcium citrate. Easy breazy. And they're super tasty!

I use the Celebrate chews for Calcium and Flintstones or Centrum Complete for my multi depending on which is on sale.

I get a monthly subscription to my vitamins/supplements through this website my nutritionist gave me — www.nascobal.com and my monthly cost is $25 and they mail your supplements right to you! It’s really easy. I think the brand of them is called bariActive.

Family member recommended these! Since they are gummies she doesn't have trouble passing them and are a nice treat after your meal [emoji4]

My NUT says gummies are a no, no, no because our bodies dont absorb what's required from the gummies.

      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.
