I take 2 children's chewables per day. I buy the BJ's store brand of Flintstones complete. I did try the Centrum chewable but I couldn't stand the taste.

That's a great idea. I have a big bottle of Centrum chewable, but they are awful tasting! I'm gonna try the children's, thanks!

I haven't had the surgery yet, so maybe I get that memo later. :thumbdown:

I use the Viactiv, Multivitamin is milk chocolate and I also use the Calcium which is caramel. I love them. Since I love my chocolate its a great substitution. The only con is that if you don't drink something after about ten minutes you kind of get a weird metallic taste but a sip of anything will get rid of that.

flinstone Vitamins are good for the first few weeks for basic nutrients, but you really do need something that contains a lot more after that. There's a reason that they're for kids. Even One A Days are not that great. You should get basic nutrition from foods you eat and really only need a supplement for things you don't eat regularly. Definitely need all of your B's instead of the 2 or 3 that Flinstones ones have.

My surgery doc said only chewables, but my fill doctor says that swallowing pills is fine. I didn't really believe him, but I tried it out and nothing horrible happened. It just needed a few minutes to dissolve and move into my stomach. If you can swallow pills, I really like Rainbow Light brand, which is pretty cheap on Ebay.

I guess any Vitamin is better than no Vitamins, though. Just relaying what I've been told.

      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.
