What kind of vitamins do you take?



Recommended Posts

My dietitian has me taking Centrum Silver chewables, 1200mg of Calcium and B12 bilingual every day but she said that after six weeks I can swallow a pill and I won't have to use the chewables anymore but I don't mind the taste. That New Whey Protein is what kills me. Gag.

Thanks everyone for your replys. I'm actually shocked to read all those who are taking childrens chewables. My nutritionist said not to take them that they didnt have what was needed for an adult. I was just hoping I could find something other than this Orange / Citrus flavor.

Thanks again!

:)

My doctors nutritionist told us to take childrens chewable Vitamins (like the flintstones ones) - but to take 2. And to Vicatin (sp?) chewable Calcium Vitamin chews. So thats what i take.

I just take the 6-pack multi complex I always did. I don't and have never had an issue swallowing pills. :juggle:

I take the Flintstones, too. Actually, I take the generic ones from Wal-mart. I also found some sugar-free Calcium chocolate chews. They're a generic brand - Nature Valley, or Nature Tree - I can't remember and I'm not at home to confirm. But anyway, they're WAY cheaper than Viactiv, and that's important because I'm REALLY pinchin' pennies these days.

      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.
