Multivitamins

Don't know but I surely like the sentiment. Don't we, as Bariatric People, deserve some simplicity?

I was told I only had to do chewables for a month or two until I could handle the horse pills again.

So did you do the right thing and are you back again into the🐎 Rodeo?

So I'm currently taking optisource 2x a day. I'd like to not have to chew everything. They taste awful. Has anyone tried this Multivitamin in the pic? Just curious if it is worth the money and how the absorption is. Tia20181118_190331.jpeg

I could not handle the taste on the ones I was taking so I when with the MD patch.

I just switched to them recently... was having some issues with Vitamin D and Iron and my bariatric surgeon recommended that I switch to these. I haven't had labs done since, but it sure is convenient!

I have been using the ProCare BariatricPal Vitamins (90 capsules) for about a year now. I take only 1 a day and it covers all of my doctor prescribed nutritional needs. My many blood tests taken for my on year check up were perfect. My calcium citrate supplement is Bariatric Advantage chewy bites 3x/day but needs to be taken 2 hours or more after the ProCare Vitamin. The chewy bites are really good!

Celebrate makes a powder that comes in two different flavors that you take twice a day. Tastes decent. I take opurity by Unjury now, though, which is a good tasting chewable and only once a day.

Thanks for your response. I just ordered some and they sent me a free order of sea salted Carmel calcium chews. I'm gonna give them a try as well. Hope they are as good as they sound.[emoji4]

      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.
