I was scheduled for October 30 but have been moved to the first of the year. I have to say I am scared and nervous, but I know it is the best for my health. I am getting the Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass which I hope will give me forever better health. I was wondering if anyone has had good feedback about the vitamin patches.

I think its a scam - I consider myself to be a guro on Vitamins and nutrients. They are easy and in no way deliver the daily punch you need post surgery - I just did a post and below is a pic of my supplements. This is a key and once you good at Vitamins and Minerals you will be feeling so good and so healthy the weight lose is a bonus. I can honestly say i beat the hell out of this body and never did Vits/Minerals and good food for 52 years.

The weight loose is great but if you combine the weight lose with VIt./Min supplement program you will have double the pleasure and healthiness.

Learn the game - rates, levels, etc. It is about getting it all balanced and effective without having to eat 12 pounds of vegetables. You got lots of time just read past the marketing,

I only use one patch, and it’s a Vitamin D and Calcium patch. My other Vitamins are in pill form. I only have to take a very good Multivitamin, B-12, and Biotin. Every surgeon will provide different recommendations for what vitamins to take. I don’t believe vitamin patches are a “scam” at all, but I prefer to take mine in pill form.

they seem to work for some people, but not for others. Not sure I'd want to take the risk.

      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.
