Really try to get all your nutrients from food; however, if you can't a supplement is a great alternative.

I've been on the Flintstones for almost 2 years and have to quit. The taste of them turns my stomach.

Don't know what happened, all of a sudden one day when chewing them- yuck! Even the thought of them makes me sick.

So I'm stopping Vitamins for now.

Good luck. That Alive sounds deadly! :unsure:

I've been able to swallow my regular Multi-Vitamin if I cut it in half, but that may not work for you...

I got the Alive liquid for post op, and that stuff is EVIL! I was able to choke it down for almost 3 weeks, then had to stop...I would dread getting up in the morning just because I knew it was waiting for me! ;-) Really nasty stuff.

Reg. Centrum chewable with Iron (the Silver version has different vits) it's orange flavored and I picked it because people said it tasted the best of the three (gummys, Flinstones). Only need one a day.

Flintstone chewable for me. but you need to take 3 of thema day. you can buy some barctric (sp) chewables and only have to take 1 aday.

I take and LOVE the viaciv Calcium raspberry chews! And the I use different viamins, I use a Gummy sometimes and Centrum chewables, which I also can't stand, and have also had the viaciv Vitamin chews but I don't care for them..I also found some gummy fish oil/omega 3 they are nasty, but I chew them with the centrum it helps them both taste better.

It's all trial and error for me..

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
