I picked up RenewLife Probiotic 30billion cfu, calcium citrate chewables (generic Walmart brand), NatureMade Fast dissolve B12, and I still need to pick up a chewable Multivitamin. I also have Vitamin D 50000 units a week i am on as well.

Hey I just replied and lost my whole post to the" cloud", some days i don't think I'll ever be electronically literate. Hokay--- here it goes again.As a future RnY with an inquiring mind where are most,of you getting your Vitamins? Doctor's office,m.o., health food store, grocery store, big box store or doubling up on what you have on hand already? As an Upper Age, I prefer that to Senior or GoldenAger, person who's on a tight Social Security budget, I want the best bang for my buck but also the most effective. What do YOUR Vitamins cost monthly? Thank you all in advance.

I actually went to Celebrate.com and order the sample pack. It’s 10$ I believe. Free shipping. I got it within 2 days. And it’s gave me some of everything they sell to go over with my doc and see what flavors I like and what not. When if you RNY?

I ordered a 90 day supply for 40$.

If you contact your surgeons office they can probably recommend a source for you.

I take Bariatric Fusion. I like them a lot. My surgeons office said for many people this is all you need to take. However, I do take supplemental Biotin and Vitamin d/calcium pills. The biotin is from BariMelts. The Vitamin D is a chewable from Caltrate. This is only because my Vitamin D was in the toilet pre op and because I don't want to loose my hair (even though, its probably inevitable). Bariatric fusion is also fairly cheap. I have to take 4 per day with RNY and 1 bottle lasts 30 days, at $27.99.

I have to take chewables so I chose opurity Bypass and Sleeve optimized chewables. They are once per day plus I have to take 1 calcium citrate at night. Only $30 for a 90 day supply direct from the Unjury site.

      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.
