For those who take a prenatal everyday for your Vitamins, what brand do you prefer and why? Do you take any other vitamins on top of that?

And what about your Calcium, what's your favorite?

Are you saying you take a prenatal Vitamin instead of a bariatric vitamin? Or in addition to because you are pregnant/trying to get pregnant?

No, I don't take a prenatal at all right now. I'm not pregnant either. But I've heard many post op people will take a prenatal as their "one a day". But actually I just purchased a bottle of Vitamins and Calcium on here a few min ago. :)

I’m talking the Flintstones with Iron until my blood work says otherwise. I loved the sunshine brand from the Vitamin Shoppe while I was prego and nursing or just heavy flow. It wouldn’t work for my bypass now.

I've always taken Centrum Silver or the Walgreens/CVS generic equivalent. Two a day.

      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.
