My doctor is having me starting some daily Vitamins. I have to take a multivitamin with Iron, zinc,and B-1.

My B-1 that I have to take smells HORRIBLE! And they don't taste that good either. Does anyone have any recommendations on a less smelling B-1 Vitamin, or a trick to get mine to not smell so bad?

yea B1 really stinks. I get mine in capsule form because of that - I couldn't deal with the tablets. The capsules don't really smell. (I take B-complex since the brand I take has all the Vitamin B1 we were required to take. This is the brand I take (see link below), but there are undoubtedly others that come in capsule form (this one says "serving size" is 2 capsules, but one capsule has everything we need, so that's all I take. Any extra vitamin B you take comes out a few hours later in your urine, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to take more than you need

By taking an all-in-one Bariatric Multivitamin like BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE, you can get 1,667% of the daily Thiamine (B-1) value. Why take a separate B-1 supplement?

I'm not taking a bariatric multivitamin. Just a regular one.

      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.
