Good morning everybody I have a tentative date for the end of September so it's coming up pretty quick. I have some questions about Vitamins. I been told that I will have to get the chewable. Vitamins. Although after doing some research I have seen others just crush or pulverize they're normal vitamins and take them that way. How long will I have to be on chewable or crushed vitamins? I am on a very limited fixed income so purchasing specialty chewable vitamins is really cost prohibitive for me. What are people's experience with post-surgery vitamins? Also how long before I can take my vitamins in the normal way. Thank you

Please share more information about the Vitamins you currently take.

I never had a problem taking my meds whole, even my horse pills, post-surgery.

Have you been told that a Multivitamin is the only supplement you'd need after your surgery?

      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?

      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.
