I actually buy the vitagummies... they make gummi Vitamins for adults... I buy them at both Walmart and Target...

Does anyone know of a Vitamin that is small and can be swallowed. I cannot tolerate the chewables. I had surgery in April 09 and have some rstriction. I have lost 57 lbs.

Buy Vitamins in liquid form. Works perfectly!

Great job on the weight loss. I don't have any problem swallowing pills. I hope that is not a bad thing..I hated the time when I was having to crush my pills but now I don't have any problems.:thumbup:

I don't have any trouble taking pills either. I don't take any of those gigantic gel pills though. I figure I'd just be asking for trouble there.

There is a Vitamin called One A Day Essentials. It is a very small vitamin about the size of an aspirin. But it does not have everything that the regular Vitamins have in them. One thing it lacks in Iron. The vitamin is hard to find. Last time I got them I ordered them from Amazon. My iron dropped low though so I did switch back to chewables instead of getting a seperate iron pill. Hope this helps.

I also use the gummi Vitamins, gummi vita D's and gummi Omega 3's. I use the Sunny Valley carmel calcium chews. I kind of think of them as my dessert!:confused:

      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.
