I usually don't digest Vitamins too well, but I've tried the bariatric pal chews and they are working well for me. They come in 4 flavors and my surgeons office gave me the samples.

My program gave me several options to choose from.

I ended up choosing 2 Flintstone complete a day for a multivitamin (the target or Walmart brands were approved as ok). I went with that because I knew I could tolerate it, their price and they are easily available. (That was one of 4 options they gave me). I asked about Patches - they said no to those.

I also take ez-melts B complex.

I take two other Vitamins beyond their program requirements, but I always have (including a prescription Vitamin D).

They wonโ€™t have me add any other vitamins until they do my labs at my follow up, including Calcium. They said most people get enough calcium in their diets - so I might not need to take that one.

I've always taken Centrum Silver or the generic equivalent. If you take grocery store/drug store Vitamins, you have to take two a day (some of the bariatric specific ones you only have to take one 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.
