I've been taking childrens chewables too since there are NO adult ones here that I can find, however, having been diagnosed with rectal cancer recently and reading up on the importance of antioxidants and selenium, I realise that the children's Vitamin completely misses out some trace nutrients that most adult ones have, selenium being the primary one.

I've decided to stop being a big baby and just take the big adult pill. I dont get stuck on them, I just hate taking pills and gag and carry on like a wimp.

Adults need adult Vitamins I think.

I work in a Dental office ...fyi never ok to put neosporin on your lips. Carmex is good for re hydrating them . Alot of pts at the end of summer get dry peely lips or in the winter.

I agree with Jacqui; we need adult Vitamins, preferably bariatric ones designed for bandsters.

(Jacqui, I hope you're feeling as well as can be expected; you are often in my thoughts and prayers.)

Have you looked at a whole foods store for some liquid vitamins. I saw them just the other day but didn't get any because the bottle was about a quart size and the price was like $40.00 I thought that was a lot of money to spend not knowing if I'd like them or not.

      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.
