I take the Centrum chewable too, and I found coupons for the Centrum in the Sunday paper and there is also one in the box. They are orange flavored and don't taste too bad.

I take Bariatric Advantage chewable multi-vitamins and Calcium. My program's nutritionist doesn't recommend Flintstone's because they don't contain enough trace minerals for adults. But the Bariatric Advantage doesn't taste bad; they come in flavors like watermelon, lemon creme, wild cherry, and chocolate

I couldn't stand taking the chewables because they were so chalky and sweet tasting and strong. So, I did some research on liquid Vitamins (which I was afraid I was going to regret because some of them are so nasty tasting). But I discovered some interesting facts about liquid vitamins and their potency in your bloodstream.

I started taking a liquid Vitamin that even my husband takes and loves! I think mainly he loves it because not only does he feel great on it, but the San Diego Chargers' trainer has a lot of the football players taking it and DH is a HUGE Chargers fan.

Anyways, the Vitamin is called Passion 4 Life liquid vitamins and I love that it not only takes care of your Multi-Vitamin for the day, but it also takes care of your minerals, anti-oxidants, and other health goodies (like CoQ10) in one shot (one ounce) per day. This stuff is off the charts in what it contains . . . but I know if I tried to get all of this stuff in separately, I'd be taking at least 10 pills. Very cool.

Am I the only one who isn't using a chewable Vitamin? My doctor said as soon as I was able to, that I could use my regular Vitamins that I swallow. I take a regular Multivitamin at night and 1 citracal. And I take another citracal in the morning. I have no problem swallowing either of them. Although I do take them separately, not together. So for anyone who doesn't like chewables, ask your doctor. They may be okay with you taking a regular vitamin as well. :thumbdown:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
