Recommended Posts

Found these in Asda : asda's own brand called Daily 5

Nutrient food supplements with added Vitamins & minerals .

One serving provides many of the key vitamins & minerals and essential nutrients typically found in 5 fresh fruit & vegtables .

14 sachets in a box ... cost under £4.00

Orange flavour

I was told by my dietician to take vitamins & minerals in a dissovable or chewable form .

These are the BEST Ive tried yet , so thought Id share my find .

Best wishes

Hi,

Thanks for this info, i've just had surgery , gastric sleeve though, not band, but still i was looking for something like this. I got something similar from the chemist but they were much more expensive, so I shall be off to Asda once I can drive again!

Thanks

      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.
